A great thanks for the introduction of PgfPlotsX into Plots making the plotting accessible to everybody.

I would need to transform the Label from 1 column to multiple column. This feature is particularly useful when using multiple plots. This can be easily done in PgfPlots but I do not know how to perform this task in PgfPlotsX. The code in PgfPlots is as:

```julia
style="legend columns = -1"

```

I would like to transform by using image from https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/JuliaTeX/PGFPlots.jl/blob/master/doc/PGFPlots.ipynb

Many thanks for any help you may provide,

That is currently work in progress: [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/pull/2854](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/pull/2854)
