Bram,
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plot1 = plot.plot(X,Y,label='1')
plot2 = plot.plot(X,Y,label='2')
...
plotN = plot.plot(X,Y,label='N')
legend = plt.legend(ncol=2)
should work...
so, for your "own_plot_function", you have to return the legend and set it
accordingly...

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] set ncol for legend
Hi,
I want to update the number of columns in my legend. How should I do that?
I'm looking for something like:
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
my_own_plot_function(ax, data) # gives, for example, one column legend by
default
legend = ax.get_legend()
legend.set_ncol(2) # something like this
However, ncol is not in the legend.properties() list for properties to be set
through legend.set.
Thanks for any help,
Bram
