I always use the following set of commands to get costumize my legend:

**************************************
legendEntries=[]             # list of plots that are going to be in
the legend
legendText=[]   # list of text messages for the legend

thisPlot = plot(x,y,'b*') # a plot command

legendEntries.append(thisPlot) # only do this for the plots you want
to add to the legend
legendText.append("legend text")    # only this for the plots you want
to add to the legend

 lgd = legend(legendEntries,legendText,numpoints=1,prop=props,loc='upper
right') # example of how to draw the legend

**************************************

Hope this helps,

Tinne
