Hi Fan,

Please see the new example 12 at:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/legend.shtml#ex12

I think you should be able to use the legend that is generated automatically with your XY plot, and then set lgBoxMinorExtentF<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/lg.shtml#lgBoxMinorExtentF> to a small number, like 0.1 or 0.2.

If you need to create your own legend, then you can still try setting this resource to decrease the legend line widths.

Is there a resource to control the size of lines, texts, etc. fields in the legend of an xy-plot under lgAutoManage, such as in your examples below? Basically I want to reduce the lengths of the lines and leave more space for the text strings explaining the line types. We found that the fonts of the text is reduced to illegible when the string is too long under lgAutoManage - do I have to set it to "False"?

Thanks.
