In my terminal, I can produce a pdf file of my picture by entering
pdflatex myfile.tikz
This is how it looks:
I want to produce a PDF file only containing the legend of the pgfplot. Is this possible?
Edit: I would like to have this outcome:
Whereas LaRiFaRi's solution provides this:
How can I get the first picture? Do I need to trial-and-error or is there a shorter version for it? Removing xmax
, ymax
, xmin
and ymin
produced an empty image.
