legend markers about plotly.py

@guenp, yes, this is a known issue that we're working on. I'll leave this open and let you know when it gets updated.

In the meantime, if you post a link to the actual live plotly graph here, I'd happily show you how to make these changes.

The simplest thing you can do is simply not draw a legend in matplotlib and then update the legend to be on with update:

## make some matplotlib figure here (don't create legend)
update = {"layout": {"showlegend": True}}
py.iplot_mpl(fig, update=update, filename="your-filename-here")

From there, you can easily move the legend around in our webapp, or you could set it as follows:

## make some matplotlib figure here (don't create legend)
update={"layout": {"showlegend": True, "legend": {"x": 0, "y": 1}}}
py.iplot_mpl(fig, update=update, filename="your-filename-here")

@theengineear, thanks!
Here's the plot: http://plotly.fys.ku.dk/~guen/27
Now I'm having issues with hiding the legend labels for the interpolated curves.

ok, I fixed it by using this slightly hairy update :]
update={"layout": {"showlegend": True, "legend": {"x": 0.1, "y": 0.85}},
"data": [{},{"showlegend": False}],}
