[Matplotlib-users] Legend frame edgecolor and linewidth

[Daniele N. <da...@gr...>]

Hello,

there is a way to control the edgecolor and the linewidth of the frame
drawn around the legend?  I set the axes linewidth to 0.5 but the legend
frame linewidth is set to 1.0 and it does not look nice. Also, most of
the time I don't want the frame edge to be drawn at all.

Always doing:

  l = plt.legend()
  l.get_frame().set_edgecolor('none')

is boring.

If the setting are not there, would a patch adding a setting to style
the legend frame be considered? Additionally, would it make sense to
default the legend frame linewidth to the axes linewidth?

Cheers,
Daniele
