Re: [Matplotlib-users] Legend: Space between text and upper border

But pad seems to have mainly an effect on the space
between the text and the left and right border. My
problem is that the upper border is to close to the
text, so it is very hard to read. Also the legend has
to be as small as possible, because there are up to
seven graphs displayed and I need the space fo the
graphs. So I need a solution which increases the space
between text and upper border without having an effect
on the space between text and right/left border.

Here is a code-snippnet right from my program:

self.axes.plot(x_value, y_value, 'k-', 
               label = labelLegend)

self.axes.legend(loc = 'best', pad = 0.1)
leg = self.axes.get_legend()
ltext = leg.get_texts()
setp(ltext, fontsize='x-small')
