Thanks for the suggestion JJ. I have actually changed my initial approach. Now I am just using colored text to create pseudo-legends, like shown below: ax1.text(0.40, 0.8, "Cloud-base", fontsize=14, transform=ax1.transAxes) ax1.text(0.40, 0.7, "BallVario", fontsize=14, color='b', transform=ax1.transAxes) ax1.text(0.40, 0.6, "AIMMS", fontsize=14, color='g', transform=ax1.transAxes) By the way, from the linked construct, changing width and height of the rectangle doesn't have any affect. p = Rectangle((0, 0), 1, 1, fc="r") legend([p], ["Red Rectangle"]) p = Rectangle((0, 0), 10.0, 2.0, fc="r") plt.legend([p], ["Red Rectangle"]) or making trying a smaller rectangle: p = Rectangle((0, 0), 0.2, 1, fc="r") plt.figure(); plt.legend([p], ["Red Rectangle"]) -- Gökhan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
