Hi Georg, I did this by following Joe Kington's answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4700614/how-to-put-the-legend-out-of-the-plotand also taking a quick glance at the matplotlib1DViewer.py code in fipy (to figure out how to reference the axes). Here's example fipy-based script with the legend off to the right: http://pastebin.com/vD2hF4WY
