legend frame and font size.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to change the size of the legend produced by
matlab.legend independently of my axis tick labels?

lh=legend(['a','b','c'],loc=4,fontsize=8)

doesn't work and there seems to be nothing in the lh object that would
help.

Cheers,
Cory

I just sent patches about this to matplotlib-devel.

The current version has two problems with this:

* legend does not take kwargs. All the options like FONTSIZE, PAD and others
can only be set globally as class variables of Legend

* the option FONTSIZE - even if changed globally - is flat out ignored. It is
used once for a calculation, but the crucial routine Legend.draw() completely
ignores it.

Both problems are fixed with my patches (see matplotlib-devel or wait for them
to appear in CVS)

Ciao,
Norbert
