        points = Point2f[(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)])

elem_4 = MarkerElement(color = :blue, marker = 'π', markersize = 15,
        points = Point2f[(0.2, 0.2), (0.5, 0.8), (0.8, 0.2)])

        points = Point2f[(0, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1)])

Legend(f[1, 2],
    [elem_1, elem_2, elem_3, elem_4, elem_5],
    ["Line & Marker", "Poly & Line", "Line", "Marker", "Poly"],
    patchsize = (35, 35), rowgap = 10)

Is there any method to moving the legend entry patch rectangle to the inside of the axis? Like this:

Just create it in the same cell. Change

To Legend(f[1,1],...
But then you need to figure the how to position it properly and that I don’t know myself :slight_smile:

Alternatively, you might be looking for the function axislegend which does that for you. However you already posted the image from its documentation so I assume you feel you need to use Legend?

Thanks for your help.

It doesn’t matter which one I use, but the problem is that I seem to have to manually draw my own legend. Does axislegend support manually created legend?

Oh… I got it!

Thank you very much!
