Has anyone figured out how to get a legend for each line in a matplotlib.collections.LineCollection instance?
No problem if I plot lines the default way ie. line,=plot(x,y). But I've had to resort to using LineCollections for the significant speed boost since I am routinely plotting up to ten 30000 point datasets in one plot. The legend doc says that "legend by itself will try and build a legend using the label property of the lines/patches/collections". But it seems that for a collection the legend refers to the collection as a whole, not the individual lines within the collection. AFAIK this is a limitation of matplotlib 0.85. Any ideas on how I can workaround this problem that won't kill my speed boost? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
