[Matplotlib-users] alpha-blended legend

[Daniel N. <da...@ne...>]

Hi,

I am trying to make a legend transparent (using GTKAgg) as sometimes it 
is quite big an obscures part of my graphs.

I have tryed this with no luck:
        l = figure.legend(lines, names, legend)
        l.set_alpha(.5)

is this possible?

Thanks
Dan
