Is there some way I can add a short text to the legend box? Rather than
having
label='foo=0'
label='foo=1'
...

I'd like to just put 'foo' say at the top of the legend box. Any thoughts?

Neal,

legend[1] has the title keyword
legend(loc=‘best’,title=‘foo’)

Neal,

If you also want to get rid of the lines, you could just color the texts of the legend labels using a VPacker in something like
