I added a 6th picture, section (5) in [wiki:LegendLineMarkers], with a change to make short horizontal line segments instead of diagonals. It does look better, but only if the legend_colorbox_width is increased to 4 or more, giving 4x width for the lines.
Question: should PHPlot automatically make the colorboxes wider when using line segments? I don't like that. But it needs to look decent by default, and changing class variables ('tuning variables') should not be necessary.
