Dear all, I've made a plot (as attached). The problem is the frame of the legeng is too big that It covers some part of the lines in the figure. I used a 'x-samll' font size in the legend text, but the problem is that the space between the lines of different texts is too big that the whole frame of the legend becomes big.
another question is, the font size of legend text can only be set as 'xx-small' | 'x-small' | 'small' | 'medium' | 'large' | 'x-large' | 'xx-large' , but not specific numbers? Any ideas about this will be very much appreciated. ############################################### the script: fig1=plt.figure() fig1.text(0.5,0.04,'Years since last burn',ha='center',rotation='horizontal') fig1.text(0.05,0.45,'Total biomass(gC m-2)',va='center',rotation='vertical') ax1=fig1.add_subplot(111) for i in range(7): ax1.plot(np.arange(1,len(ns2['TOTAL_M'][i])+1),ns2['TOTAL_M'][i],g.pline[i],label=bsite.NSlist[i]) ax1.plot(data[:,0],data[:,13],'k.',markersize=10,label='Goulden et al.,2011') ax1.plot(wdata[:,0][0:7],wdata[:,6][0:7],'r.',markersize=10,label='Wang et al.,2003 Dry') ax1.plot(wdata[:,0][7:14],wdata[:,6][7:14],'g.',markersize=10,label='Wang et al.,2003 Wet') leg=ax1.legend(loc='upper left') ltext = leg.get_texts() llines = leg.get_lines() frame = leg.get_frame() plt.setp(ltext, fontsize='x-small') Best wishes, Chao http://old.nabble.com/file/p31918421/CA-NS_BiomassCarbon_modelVSob.png -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-change-the-frame-size-of-legend--tp31918421p31918421.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
