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. Any ideas?
