You have three options then: 1-) Figure out how legend handles symbol drawing. 2-) Use latex / mathtext to represent symbols. 3-) Install a font and more intuitively insert a sqaure box into your string. For me, as long as the expression that is drawn on screen is not complicated, I am very happy using the unicode text approach. -- Gökhan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
