Hello Group,

I am again struggling with inserting legends into plots.I need to
automate the plotting of many GraphicsGrids with some automated legend
control. Usually I use a customized approach via Epilog/Inset but I
need to use LogLogPlots and positioning and scaling within them is not
very straight forward to me.

Using the built in PlotLegends Package I somewhat loose control over
my plots. The legend package introduces some invisible plot margins I
cannot get rid of:

Compare:

(*with legends*)
GraphicsGrid[
 Partition[
  Table[Plot[i, {x, 0, 100}, ImageSize -> 200, PlotLegend -> {"1"},
    LegendShadow -> False, LegendPosition -> {0, 0},
    LegendSize -> 0.5, ImageMargins -> None, ImagePadding -> 0], {i,
    1, 4}], 2], Spacings -> 0., Frame -> All]
(* without legends *)
GraphicsGrid[
 Partition[
  Table[Plot[i, {x, 0, 100}, ImageSize -> 200, ImageMargins -> None,
    ImagePadding -> 0], {i, 1, 4}], 2], Spacings -> 0., Frame -> All]

Is there a way to keep the legend fully wihtin the plot without adding
some invisible wasted space?

I appreciate any hints,

Markus
