sorry. As guillaume has mentioned, you need to install mpl from svn. Here is some workaround you can try. I guess it would work with 0.98.5.3. Basically, you create a separate axes for a legend.
ax1 = axes([0.1, 0.2,0.8, 0.7]) p1, = ax1.plot([1,2,3]) p2, = ax1.plot([3,2,1]) ax2 = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.01], frameon=False) ax2.xaxis.set_visible(False) ax2.yaxis.set_visible(False) l = ax2.legend([p1, p2], ["Legend1", "Legend2"], mode="expand", ncol=2, borderaxespad=0.) -JJ On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 6:00 PM, Chris Spencer<chriss...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks.
