Horizontal bar is possible, although i'm not sure it fits your need. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/barh_demo.html
Anyhow, with the current mpl, I guess it is much easy to make the horizontal bars with rectangle patches (in case barh does not do what you want), rather than trying to rotate the legend. -JJ On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 3:34 AM, Naoli <na...@tuxfamily.org> wrote: > Hi, > > thanks for the answer.
