Right align legend contents

Hi,

Is it possible to right align the text and line samples in a legend box?

That is, instead of:

--- First plot
--- Second plot

...you get:

  First plot ---
Second plot ---

(with a fixed width font, that last one displays the right edges of
the text perfectly aligned).

Cheers,
Jason

plot([1,2,3], label="Label 1")
plot([2,1,3], label="Long Label 2")

leg = legend()

# swap_and_right_align_legend

vp = leg._legend_box._children[-1]._children[0]
for c in vp._children:
    c._children.reverse()
vp.align="right"

draw()

Does this close to waht you want?

That's perfect, thank you very much :slight_smile:
