Re: Markers in the firt column on a stand-alone legend don't show up

Hi Mary,

    You are right. On bluefire and on my Linux machine, my plot looked jut
fine when I viewed it using ghostscript but there was cut-off when I viewed
it using gv. So the problem is with gv on bluefire and on my Linux machine.
Thank you very much for figuring out the problem.
