Plot area legend rendered incorrectly when moved out of the plot (original) (raw)

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

In area plots, the handles in the legend are made with filled rectangles, as for example in:

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(20, 5), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']) df.plot(kind='area', linewidth=0.1)

Result

However, if method legend() is used to alter the position of the legend, the handles are rendered as lines, which poses a problem if the line width is small, as in the following example:

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(20, 5), columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']) df.plot(kind='area', linewidth=0.1).legend(loc="center left", bbox_to_anchor=(1.02, 0.5))

Bad result
