Thanks Eric. I would like to help reworking on the legend class. I once tried to incorporate the FancyBox into the legend but the result is not satisfactory because the legend bounding box is defined as axes units in the current implementation (see the attached screenshot). And I guess it would be better do things in the display coordinate. Also, in the current implementation, the vertical spacing between each legend varies according to the height of the legend text. For example, in the attached screenshot, the spacings between "ac", "ag", "lg" are all different and this is because their text heights are different. I think it is better if we have a fixed spacing, or have a minimum spacing as the text height of "lg". And use the baseline-alignment if possible. Regards, -JJ
