Hello Robert,
legends can be fully customized, but only by means of the \label and
\ref approach. In other words: you need to build an own tikz matrix
(perhaps using the same styles) and you need to fill it manually.
An example would be
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
extra description/.code={
\matrix[/pgfplots/every axis legend]
{
\ref{2x} \pgfmatrixnextcell \node{$2\cdot x$};\\
\ref{x} \pgfmatrixnextcell \node{$x$};\\
};
}
]
\addplot {x};
\label{x}
\addplot {2*x};
\label{2x}
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
I admit that it doesn't look perfect - seems something with the vertical
alignment is not as in the original legend implementation.
Perhaps you find out how to fix the vertical alignment here; I guess the
tikz manual will be the resource of choice.
The \ref{} command, when found inside of a tikzpicture, will make a
scope and issue a '\draw....' command corresponding to the graphics.
Perhaps a variant of \node{\ref{...}}; does the job (did not work when I
tried it, though).
In short: you may need to customize your legend (semi) manually, which
is possible.
Best regards
Christian
