+A new routine called pllegend has been added to our core C API.
+(N.B. This is an experimental API that may be subject to further
+change as we gain more experience with it.)  This routine creates a
+discrete plot legend with a plotted box, line, and/or line of symbols
+for each annotated legend entry. The arguments of pllegend provide
+control over the location and size of the legend within the current
+subpage as well as the location and characteristics of the elements
+(most of which are optional) within that legend. The resulting legend
