I want a legend without the black border. I've tried a few things that have been suggested on this forum and elsewhere to no avail. According to what I've seen, it should be as simple as:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np N = 5 Means1 = (20, 35, 30, 35, 27) Means2 = (25, 32, 34, 20, 25) ind = np.arange(N) # the x locations for the groups width = 0.20 # the width of the bars fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) rects1 = ax.bar(ind, Means1, width, color='k') rects2 = ax.bar(ind+width, Means2, width, color='w') ax.legend( (rects1[0], rects2[0]), ('set1', 'set2'), frameon=False ) plt.show() It all works except for "frameon=False" I get this: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/axes.pyc in legend(self, *args, **kwargs) 4042 4043 handles = cbook.flatten(handles) -> 4044 self.legend_ = mlegend.Legend(self, handles, labels, **kwargs) 4045 return self.legend_ 4046 TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'frameon' I've also checked my matplotlibrc under the "Legend" section and I don't see a "legend.frameon" line. It must be something simple that I am doing wrong.
