Hi,
As far I understand this a plot is per default covering the more or less whole
space. Now, is it possible to position a legend outside of a plot, e.g. on
the right of the plot. "legend" offers to supply the loc-argument with a
tuple to do that, but that doesn't create more space and hence most legends
will appear truncated. The only solution I came up with is to limit the
plotting area (using "axes") and to position the legend manually. Is there an
alternative?
TIA
Cheers

I think you have to fiddle with the axes (see figlegend_demo.py in the
examples folder). As far as I know, there is no such thing like
gnuplot's "set key out" switch.

Random number generation is the art of producing pure gibberish as
quickly as possible.
If you are just creating graphic images you could always send the legend
to a different figure, and then print both figures to file. You could
then munge a layout together for whatever document you are creating.
