[Matplotlib-users] titles for legends

2008-02-04 Thread John Travers
Hello, I sometimes want to add titles to legends in matplotlib. I couldn't find an existing way to do this (but if there is one, then please tell me!). So I have hacked together a patch to add a title keyword to the legend class, which adds the title to the top of the legend. I'm not sure it

Hello, I'm very pleased with the STIX fonts support in mathtext. Thanks for getting this working! However, I would like to use the same font in labels which do not contain mathtext, for consistency. I cannot work out how to do this. Can anyone help with this? Thanks, John
