[Therion] Arranging legends

[Andrew Atkinson]

Guess you all can tell I am trying to get a survey complete by the
number of emails I am sending

For anyone who is interested in what I am doing, the pdf if available at

http://wotcc.org.uk/__Transfer/Reads.pdf

and the raw data at

http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/Burrington/Reads/

I am using the legend command to put text in different places and other
pdfs to make up a complex final poster.

Some thoughts/observations

When using the normal map header 0 0 nw

legend on/off works and turns the list of symbols on and off

colour-legend thbook says

colo[u]r-legend <on/off> ◃ turn on/off legend of map-fg colours when
map-fg is set
to altitude, scrap or map (M, A)

but the map colours seem to remain in the legend?

As soon as you use

code tex-map
  \def\maplayout{
      \legendbox{
	}

map-header and map-image get ignored, which is a bit of a pain, as
everything has to then go through the \legendbox. My guess is there is a
reason for this, but it would be better if the 2 map commands could
still be used.

I cannot find a way to insert the list of symbols

\legendbox{110}{-200}{NW}{\the\legendcontent}

Put the legend on with the scale bar, north arrow ..... map colours, but
no list of symbols

using legend on/all/off seems to make no difference.

This is the one I could really do with a solution to, as I would like to
have the list of symbols

As \formattedlegend adds in the map colours, my feeling is that
\insertlegend should put it in but have not got anywhere with

\legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\iflegend\the\insertlegend\fi}
\legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\iflegend\insertlegend\fi}
\legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\insertlegend\}
\legendbox{150}{-230}{NW}{\the\insertlegend}

thanks in advance
