sorry. As guillaume has mentioned, you need to install mpl from svn. Here is some workaround you can try. I guess it would work with 0.98.5.3. Basically, you create a separate axes for a legend. ax1 = axes([0.1, 0.2,0.8, 0.7]) p1, = ax1.plot([1,2,3]) p2, = ax1.plot([3,2,1]) ax2 = axes([0.1, 0.1,

Thanks. Is that some sort of blending edge feature? I just installed 0.98.5.3, but the sample code gives me the error: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bbox_to_anchor' On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 10:20 PM, Jae-Joon Lee wrote: > The linked page below shows how you put the lege

The linked page below shows how you put the legend above the graph. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/plotting/legend.html#legend-location You can put it below the axes by adjusting the bbox_to_anchor parameter. Try something like bbox_to_anchor=(0., -0.1, 1., -0.1), loc=1 Make sure to a

2009-06-25 Thread Chris Spencer
How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at all with the graph? The docs for the legend() "loc" parameter only seem to specify where *on* the graph you want it to show, which is driving me nuts because even using "best", it usually hides some of my data. I want to see *all
