Unfortunately not. It is best if you post a stand-alone script that we can simply run with copy-and-paste. > is about one column wide (7 cm-ish) and that the legend is relatively > large.

Please be more specific why you think the legend looks large, e.g., too much line-spacing, too long handle length, too much padding, etc. I think the legend has an adequate size in my view, even with your configuration. You may post the output of gnuplot and compare it with the output of matplotlib. Also, let us know what version of mpl you're using. The legend function has recently undergone some changes. You can customize most of spacing parameters of the legend. Take a look at the documentation. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.legend The default figure size is 8 inch x 6 inch, and most of other parameters are tuned for this setup. And some of these default parameters won't work well if you simply create a figure of very small size. My personal approach is to create a figure with a default size (or some slight adjustment) and do not worry about other parameters, and simply scale down the output eps file itself when I include it in the latex document.
