Hi guys, I was wondering if it's possible to rotate a legend ? Thanks for your help. Naoli
I don' think these is a straight forward way to rotate the legend as a whole. As a matter of fact, it is hardly possible with the current implementation of the legend class. Could you explain why do you want to have a rotated legend? An example figure (from other plotting package) will be very helpful. If a rotated legend is desirable, I'll work on to support it.

Horizontal bar is possible, although i'm not sure it fits your need. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/barh_demo.html Anyhow, with the current mpl, I guess it is much easy to make the horizontal bars with rectangle patches (in case barh does not do what you want), rather than trying to rotate the legend. -JJ On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 3:34 AM, Naoli <na...@tu...> wrote: > Hi, > > thanks for the answer.

Such a shame... Anyway, I'm glad to learn horizontal bars are possible, I'll try it. Thanks for your answers.
