+ items printed into the graph. The space following a string can be
+ suppressed by putting a \\b\g\bg at the end of the string. The \\b\g\bg also

GPRINT:a:MAX:%lf%s\g
A special case is COMMENT:\\b\s\bs which inserts some additional vertical
space before placing the next row of legends.
- If you are using the proportional font in your graph, you can use tab
- characters or the sequence \\b\t\bt to line-up legend elements. Note that the
- tabs inserted are relative to the start of the current legend element!
+ If you want to have left and right aligned legends on the same line use
+ COMMENT:\\b\u\bu to go one line back like this:
+
+ COMMENT:left\l
+ COMMENT:\u
+ COMMENT:right\r
+
+ There is also a 'nop' control for situations where you want a string to
+ actually end in a backslash character sequence \\b\.\b.
+
+ COMMENT:OS\2\.
+
+ When using a proportional font in your graph, the tab characters or the
+ sequence \\b\t\bt will line-up legend elements. Note that the tabs inserted
+ are relative to the start of the current legend element!
