Re: [Matplotlib-users] Making an Axis Label like a legend
Hmm I think I could do this with TextWithDash, but I can't manage to use it... I go: CumGasTxt = fig.text(0.5, 0.5, 'Cumulative Gas (MCF)', withdash=True) and it says AttributeError: Unknown property withdash. I tried changing fig to ax1, but although that doesn't spit out an error, it doesn't display anything. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot, Alex Hi Alex, I cannot see the keyword argument 'withdash' for fig.text, but it does exists for ax.text (with ax being an subplot instance) at least since maplotlib version 0.99.

[Matplotlib-users] Making an Axis Label like a legend
Hello again, I've got a question about axis labels, specifically y axis labels for multiple lines. What I'd ideally like to do is take something like the legends shown in the attached picture, rotate them 90 degrees counter clockwise, then stick them to the left of the Y axes to use it as a label there. I don't think there is any way to rotate the legend, but is there anything I could do to get a similar effect? Basically I'd like the legend out of the plot area and into the y axis title, but it needs to show which line is which. Having the sample line and marker in the title would be perfect, but I guess just having the words in the corresponding colour would work too. Thanks a lot!
