   Thanks for the suggestion.

   I'm not sure exactly what you mean by marker consistent based on marker size? You mean the Central Park Zoo and Bronx Zoo text in the above screenshot should be placed closer to the marker items?

   But, consider this legend

   

   by moving trace 3 closer to the square marker, trace 3 would be misaligned with the items above it.

   @etpinard yes this is a good point, perhaps we could apply spacing such that the legend text is aligned and the minimum is always consistent?

   Maybe a below solution would be to add a set of attribute determining the legend item text position offset (in pixels). For example,

   var layout = {
     legend: {
        xtextoffset: -1, // for all items OR [0,0,-1, /* .. */] to offset each item independently 
        ytestoffset: 0   // similarly
     }
   }

   Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
