Thread: [Matplotlib-users] legend 'boxoff'?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Is there a simple way to turn off the border of an inset legend?

Regards,

David

Hmm, that's odd, I still haven't seen my question go up.

I suppose I will re-ask it, then: turning the border off of the  
legend. Is there an easy way, like MATLAB's legend('boxoff')?

While it is not possible to toggle the box off during the
initialization, you can turn it off after the legend is created.

leg = legend()
leg._drawFrame=False

public methods and initialization option will be added in the future release.

I just noticed that there IS a public method.
You may use

leg.draw_frame(False)

Great!

On a related note, I just submitted a patch to fix the box() command  
in pyplot to accept the 'off' argument like axis() does. I thought I  
was going a little crazy when it just wouldn't work, then I looked at  
the source code. :)
