The legend class has been reimplemented recently and the name of some keyword arguments (and their meaning) has been changed. Those parameters you're using are deprecated ones. It is supposed to show you some warnings if deprecated parameters are used, so what you see is a bug. I'll take a look. I also noticed that the documentaion of the pylab.legend is outdated. Take a look at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#module-matplotlib.legend These are lists of deprecated parameteres pad = None, # deprecated; use borderpad labelsep = None, # deprecated; use labelspacing handlelen = None, # deprecated; use handlelength handletextsep = None, # deprecated; use handletextpad axespad = None, # deprecated; use borderaxespad So, pylab.rc('legend', borderaxespad=0.0, borderpad=0.0, handlelength=0.0, labelspacing=0.0) should work.
