Hello, please try this.
from matplotlib.pyplot import * plot([1,2,3], label="very loooooooong label") plot([3,2,1], label="very loooooooong label2") legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2, borderaxespad=0.) show() The code puts a legend with very long label text outside the figure. When drawing only the beginning of the legend is visible. Is there a way to automatically correct the area of figure and resize it such that every box drawn is visible? I know I can overcome this issue by using subplots. But this would only work to a certain extend of the problem.
