matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

John and Sandro,

I just had a quick look at the patch. The patch is for older version
of the mpl, and I couldn't test it yet. Anyhow, it should be straight
forward to port it to the new legend class. I'll work on it.

Meanwhile, below is a little code one may use to put the legend title
w/o modifying the mpl.

-JJ

plot([1,2,3])
plot([2,1,3])
legend(["test", "test2"])

fig = gcf()
ax = gca()

from matplotlib.offsetbox import TextArea, VPacker

mylegend=ax.get_legend()
legendtitle=TextArea( "Legend Title", textprops=dict(size=20))
mylegend._legend_box = VPacker(pad=5,
                               sep=0,
                               children=[legendtitle, mylegend._legend_box],
                               align="center")
mylegend._legend_box.set_figure(fig)

draw()

I don't know why -- but what is different about those files is that they 
were added on the branch since the branch was created.  I couldn't find 
any others that were.  Perhaps svnmerge.py doesn't track adds completely 
correctly.

In any case, it doesn't in fact change the content of these files (only 
touches them), so I consider that only a minor nuisance.

Hi,

Can anyone explain why everytime I go to merge changes from the maintainance
branch, it wants to tweak these files (besides the ones I actually changed)?

doc/pyplots/README
doc/sphinxext/gen_gallery.py
doc/sphinxext/gen_rst.py

Jae Joon -- will you review this and apply it if it looks like a good
addition to you

Thanks,

Hello,
a friend point me to [1] asking if there's a way to add a title to
legend without applying this patch. Well, my answer was "not that I
know of" then I start wondering if there's a reason this patch was not
applied and there's a plan to do it anytime soon.

Thanks for considering,
