Hi all,

I'm using groupplot because it is really easy to draw things like an
arrow between two plots. However, I also need to use the external
library. Now I tried to create a legend outside of an axis but this does
not work as long as I'm using the external library. Here is a minimal
example:

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{pgfplots}

\usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.groupplots}

\pgfplotsset{compat=1.3}
%\usepgfplotslibrary{external}
%\tikzexternalize

\begin{document}
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{groupplot}[group style={group size=2 by 1, horizontal sep=2cm}]
        \nextgroupplot[legend entries={a;,b},
                       legend to name=named,
                      ]
        \addplot {x};
        \addplot {x*x};
        \nextgroupplot[xmin=1, xmax=2]
        \addplot {x};
        \addplot {x*x};
    \end{groupplot}
    \draw[thick,black,->,shorten >=20pt,shorten <=2pt]
        (group c1r1.east) -- (group c2r1.west);
\end{tikzpicture}
\\
\ref{named}
\end{document}

If you uncomment the two lines then you will get an compile error. Does
someone has an idea how to circumvent this?

Regards,
Stefan
