Hi,
Does anyone know how to change the width (shrink it) the part of the TLegend where the marker § or line (L) is displayed? I would like to show shorter lines and have less white space around my markers.
Thanks in advance,
Catherine
PS I’m using most recent version of root.
do something like:
// draw the legend
TLegend *legend=new TLegend(0.6,0.65,0.88,0.85);
legend->SetMargin(0.15); //default is 0.25
TLegendEntry *le1 = legend->AddEntry(histo,"Data","lp");
le1->SetLineWidth(1);

Sorry for hijacking this old post and response, but I think the suggested change is not working, since le1->SetLineWidth(1); does actually not change the displayed line thickness in the legend, which still takes it’s value from histo. Sure one can change the line thickness of histo or use other workarounds like adding a copied histogram and changing the attributes of that, but I actually find it a bit sad, that this intuitive way of changing specific parameters in the TLegend is not supported. Based on this rational I am wondering if there is any reason not to take the settings of the TLegendEntry into account.
