(41) Legend with tables

In this example we demonstrate how one can use the tool pslegend to typeset a table within a legend. It also shows how one would set up variable-width columns and fill the cells with a background color.

#!/bin/bash

# Purpose:      Illustrate typesetting of legend with table

gmt set FONT_ANNOT_PRIMARY 12p FONT_LABEL 12p
