[Matplotlib-users] Legend frame edgecolor and linewidth
Hello,
there is a way to control the edgecolor and the linewidth of the frame
drawn around the legend? I set the axes linewidth to 0.5 but the legend
frame linewidth is set to 1.0 and it does not look nice. Also, most of
the time I don't want the frame edge to be drawn at all.
Always doing:
l = plt.legend()
l.get_frame().set_edgecolor('none')
is boring.
If the setting are not there, would a patch adding a setting to style
the legend frame be considered? Additionally, would it make sense to
default the legend frame linewidth to the axes linewidth?
Cheers,
Daniele

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Legend frame edgecolor and linewidth
Indeed, it looks like there isn't a very good way to control all of the
properties of the frame portion of a legend. This could certainly use some
improvements, partly in allowing a dictionary of property values to be
passed in `plt.legend()` (there is already a dictionary of font
properties), but also to have some rcParams that could be made available,
too. Such improvements are always welcome!
Cheers!

[Matplotlib-users] Generating animated PNG files with numpngw
Matplotlib users, I just put the package "numpngw" up on pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpngw The development version is on github: https://github.com/WarrenWeckesser/numpngw The reason this might be of interest to maplotlib users is the class "numpngw.AnimatedPNGWriter". This class can be used as the "writer" argument of the "save" method of the Animation class. So if you've ever wanted to use matplotlib to create an animated PNG (and who hasn't?), now you can! If you go to the github page, scroll down to Example 8 to see an example of how to save an animation as an animated PNG. You'll need a browser that supports animated PNG to actually see the animation. Firefox does, Safari doesn't, and I haven't checked any others. If you use it and find problems or have suggestions for improvements, email me or create an issue on github.
