This feels like what I should be wanting except: - why does it need explicit parameters? why can't it pick up its lines and labels automatically, like legend does? - it places the legend over the top of the current chart, I want it to the right, so it doesn't obscure the information on the chart... > or you could directly use the Figure.legend method. How does this differ from the normal legend command? How do I get hold of a figure to call its legend method? How does figure.legend interact with subplots? I have a bout 6 subplots on the same figure(?) and they each need to have a legend which is not obscuring the data plotted and isn't obscuring any other figure... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
