Symbols from sub-window or arbirtary markers in legends?

Share icon

I have a plot with a sub-window of another plot in it. I would like to have a legend in the main window that shows all the traces. I can only use \s(wavename) for the ones in the main window, and if I try to fake the one from the subwindow with something like \K(52224,0,0)\W529 it looks different (only the bulk of the marker is filled while the outline is black). Is there a way to either show the symbol of a wave from a subwindow, or to color the border of an arbitrary marker? Thanks, Alex legend problems.png (10.81 KB)
In this case its also not possible to add a legend to the smaller plot and then drag it into the correct position in the larger plot -- the legend can be moved outside of the frame of the subwindow, but it can't subsequentially be manipulated.

Use \s(Graph#subgraph.traceName) syntax:

Window Graph0() : Graph
    Make/O/N=10 jack=x, jill=sin(x/8)
    PauseUpdate; Silent 1       // building window...
    Display /W=(35.25,42.5,429.75,251) jack
    ModifyGraph mode=3
    ModifyGraph marker=5
    ModifyGraph rgb=(0,0,65280)
    Legend/C/N=text0/J/X=62.10/Y=4.83 "\\s(jack) jack\r\\s(Graph0#G0.jill) jill"
    Display/W=(0.53,0.348,0.8,0.8)/FG=(,,PR,PB)/HOST=#  jill
    ModifyGraph mode=3
    ModifyGraph marker=19
    ModifyGraph axOffset(bottom)=-0.866667
    RenameWindow #,G0
    SetActiveSubwindow ##
EndMacro
