Re: [Matplotlib-users] Legend orientation and layout
John, Thanks for the information. I might start looking at the code and see if I can make any changes. If I'm successful then I'll submit these as patches.

If you have just a single string, it interprets it as a list of characters. JDH s = 'mylabel' line, = plot(something) legend([line], [s]) Note the comma in "line, = plot(something)" which performs tuple unpacking of a list of lines. plot returns a list of lines, so you could also do lines = plot(something) legend(lines, [s]) but not lines = plot(something) legend(lines, s) because then you have a list of lines and a sequence of characters.
