[Matplotlib-users] vertical padding in legend

[Christopher B. <c-...@as...>]

Hi List,

Attached is a closeup of two legends on a 2-panel figure. The first
legend has 10 plots listed, the second has 1. I have set each legend
identically: loc='upper right', pad=.3, handlelen=.1, handletextsep=.05.
But it seems that while the horizontal padding is the same, the vertical
padding is too large in the first legend, and too small in the second.
The only difference between the two I am aware of is the number of plots
listed (not contained in the axes, but listed in the legends). I'm using 
version 0.98.3 on windows. Any ideas?
