I have pushed a plot recipe for my package that produces a plot from an image that looks like this:

![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/d/adc3ec652ec0bfff4fef8a6bcf60206a8fa221ba.png)

In this recipe I tried to highlight the optimum solution in the x axis using the same color of the series. However, as you can see from the legend, the colors of the rectangular shapes in the x axis are flipped.

Can you please help me fix the issue? You can find the recipe here: [https://github.com/juliohm/ImageQuilting.jl/blob/master/src/plot\_recipes.jl#L21](https://github.com/juliohm/ImageQuilting.jl/blob/master/src/plot_recipes.jl#L21)

Try swapping the primary and label lines
