lol. Finally found the magic parameter. borderaxespad.
import pylab,matplotlib pylab.plot([1,2,3,4,5],[1,2,3,4,5],"bo",label="data") ax = pylab.gca() pylab.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0,1),loc=2,borderaxespad=0) # draw an X to make sure of coordinates. ax.lines.append(matplotlib.lines.Line2D((0,1),(0,1),transform=ax.transAxes,color='blue')) ax.lines.append(matplotlib.lines.Line2D((0,1),(1,0),transform=ax.transAxes,color='red')) pylab.show() I don't know how I missed that parameter after reading the docs 100 times. :( Sorry for bothering the list with something so trivial.
