[Matplotlib-users] Multiple column legends

[Jose Gómez-D. <jgo...@gm...>]

Hi!
About a year ago, Jouni Seppänen indicated how to put a number of patches in a 
legend. So far so good. Now, it turns out that I do have quite a lot of 
patches to throw into this legend, and it would be nice, rather than to have 
a single column, to have the possibility to arrange these patches (and 
associated labels) into columns. I have looked at the legend object, but 
there is nothing suggesting that things can be shuffled around within the 
legend box itself, some sort of "subplot()" for the legend patches. Am I 
correct in assuming this doesn't exist (yet!). I am running 0.91.2, maybe 
it's already been implemented, but I thought I'd ask!

Cheers!
J
