1

Hi,
is it possible to adjust the spacing between the symol and the text in the legend with Plot.jl? MWE:

plot([1,2,3],
    linewidth=5,
    legend=true,
    legendfontsize=30,
)

produces
grafik
Can the spacing between the blue line and y1 the legend be deceased/increased?

To increase the spacing, you can pad the legend label with spaces, like the following:

using Plots
gr()
myplot1 = plot([1,2,3],
    linewidth=5,
    legend=true,
    legendfontsize=30,
    label="y1"
)

myplot2 = plot([1,2,3],
    linewidth=5,
    legend=true,
    legendfontsize=30,
    label="   y1"
)

combinedplot = plot(myplot1, myplot2, layout=(1,2))

savefig(combinedplot, "myplot.png")

The extra padding does not show up in the plot preview window, but does appear in the saved PNG plot.

I do not know how to decrease the spacing but would interested in a solution.

That is good to know! I am mostly interested in decreasing the spacing as well.
