Is there some way I can add a short text to the legend box?  Rather than 
having
label='foo=0'
label='foo=1'
...

I'd like to just put 'foo' say at the top of the legend box.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading my mail.
In basemap toolkit of matplotlib, I found the  Coastline data used is from
the GSHHS (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html).But I found
it barely satisfying to use.
（For that I am from China,but the 2 most prominent rivers,Yangtze river and
Yellow river are not shown ,and another less important river is shown）
So,here I am asking if there is how I can replace this GSHHS coasline data
with my data?How is GSHHS data formatted?So I'd probably work some way out
to make or find another set of data with the same format.
Thanks again for reading .

Hi all, 

Is there a way to produce a KML file from matplolib results as R and Matlab
do ? 

- plotKML is a R package http://plotkml.r-forge.r-project.org
- Matlab has the Google Earth Toolbox. 

Both of them allow to plot directly on GE

I' have been digging around and found this old post :"Producing a
KML-friendly (Google Earth) image" but nothing about how to actually a
matplolib result as a KML file useable into Google Earth.

I have seen some shape to KML packages, but nothing about raster.

The ultimate goal being to use the "plot, mplot3d, imshow, etc..." to plot
any python array on GE.

Thanks for your help
Eric

Hello,
First off I want to say that I have followed the "Completely remove matplotlib" steps on your website for the source build, used git to do a clean install and have done some additional research and followed a stack overflow post on this without any success. Basically the Stack Overflow had me try all the different backends in the configuration file which was in the /usr/lib64/site-packages/matplotlib...../matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc and none worked for me. I am attaching all the requested info for the computer architecture and build info below:
============== uname -a ======================================
Linux navier.areai 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 6 23:43:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


================== matplotlib version ============================
1.5.dev1 
obtained using github (git clone git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git)
============================================================

I made no edits to the setup.py file and I am building/installing from source on my Rocks 6.1 HPC cluster.
gcc is 4.9.2 and I have included the 
"python setup.py build" and "python setup.py install" outputs  (build_OUTPUT and setupInstall_OUTPUT respectively) as well.

The simple_plot.py case run.out is also attached.

Please point me in the right direction!
