Yes, I cheated on the legend for now because I didn't want to try to
draw the legend with gnuplot. Eventually, this will need to change so
that the legend is represented in the plot properties as a separate
small plot. In any case, I'd be happy to consider patches for this
change, but for now it must also work with gnuplot.
