Change line length in legend with Plots

Can the length of the example line in the legend be changed? I’m particularly interested in pyplot().

You may need to use PyPlot directly:

using PyPlot()

f = [cos, sin, tan, exp, log, atan]
lw = [3, 2, 1, 1, 3, 2]         # line width
ls = ["solid", "solid", "solid", "dashed", "dashed","dotted"] #line_style
x = 0.2 : 0.01: 1.2
fig, ax = PyPlot.plt.subplots()
[ax.plot(x, f.(x), lw=lw, ls=ls, label="$(f)") for (f,lw,ls) in zip(f,lw,ls)]
ax.legend(loc="upper left", fontsize=8)
ax.grid(linestyle=:dotted, color="gray")
PyPlot.plt.ylim(-2, 4)
PyPlot.plt.xlim(extrema(x))
PyPlot.plt.legend(handlelength=8)      # legend line length
fig.show()
