Yes. You may take a look at the legend guide. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/legend_guide.html For your original question, it is not possible to do that with the current legend implementation. However, you may put the legend inside the AnnotationBbox, which enables this. I'm posting the example for any future reference. Regards, -JJ # small example ax = plt.subplot(1,1,1) ax.plot([0,1], label='ax1') leg = ax.legend() ax.legend_ = None # remove the legend from the axes. ax2 = ax.twinx() ax2.plot([1,0], 'r--',label='ax2') leg2 = ax2.legend() # create a legend # add leg as AnnotationBbox from matplotlib.offsetbox import AnnotationBbox leg3 = AnnotationBbox(leg._legend_box, (0, 1), xybox=(-5, 0), xycoords=leg2.legendPatch, boxcoords="offset points", box_alignment=(1., 1.), pad=0, ) # adjust zorder so that leg3 is drawn after leg2 leg3.zorder = leg2.zorder+0.1 ax2.add_artist(leg3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
