[Matplotlib-users] Re: figlegend

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

I still have a bit of a problem.

This puts the legend "more or less" outside the plot.  If I use "upper 
right" with only two lines it is o.k., however if I use e.g. "center 
right" then about half of the legend is still over the top of the plot.

Also if I have more then 2 lines I start overlapping even when using 
"upper right".

This is what I use (within the wxcursor_demo.py).
self.figure.legend((pLine, cLine), ('Purchase', 'Consumption'), 'upper 
right')

I would like the legend being totally outside the plot, I am o.k. with 
that the overall canvas would have to be a bit larger.

Is there a way I can do this?  BTW, I tried using "axespad = 0.02" with 
different values, i.e. "-0.15" puts it to the right, but half the legend 
isn't visable anymore.

Thanks and best regards
Werner
