For example, legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, 0.5), loc="center") For some more details, take a look at the link below, which is my work-in-progress legend guide. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/178748/mpl/legend_guid/html/legend.html#legend-location Regards, -JJ > Thanks, > Alan Isaac > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
