Legends panel
The curve legend displays the curve name and the line attributes that are assigned to the curve. The curve name and line attributes can be modified using the Define Curves panel. The order of the curves listed in the legend reflects the order of the curves as they appear in the curve list on the Define Curves panel. To change the order of the curves in the legend, switch to the Define Curves panel and using the Cut/Copy/Paste commands, re-order the names of the curves in the list.
