key box spacing defects

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

a minor issue but worth fixing at some stage.

I need to get the key box as tight as possible to prevent it over-running  
my plots. This must surely be quite a common concern.

In trying to reduce it I notice that there are one or two extras space  
characters before each legend's text. The space after the line sample  
seems a reasonable size but the left border space is about three times  
bigger. This is wasted space and a visual imbalance.

Also there seems to be no top margin. The "l" in plot of my first line  
actually touches the box (with set key box).

If someone works on this part of gnuplot it maybe a thing to tidy up.

A consistant border all the way round would be nice. Maybe with an option  
border width to control it like is possible with vertical line spacing.

Thx.
