This comment is perfect here! Can you also add a note about this to the docstring at https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py#L298 ?

Always glad to help. 👍

I would put it into the doc of framealpha:

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py

Line 427 in 5a24121

framealpha : None or float

to make clear that if shadow is activated and framealpha is None it will set the value to be 1 instead of taking it from legend.framealpha :data:rcParam<matplotlib.rcParams>.

Should I also add something to

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes/_axes.py

Line 422 in 5a24121

shadow : None or bool
?

To both? The goal is to make sure users are not confused / can un-confuse them selves easily. Putting it in shadow warns someone using it that it might affect other parts and someone who is having issues with the default framalpha being ignored might go check it's docstring.

# explicitly passed. See Issue 8943
if framealpha is None:
self.get_frame().set_alpha(rcParams["legend.framealpha"])
if shadow is True:
self.framealpha = 1
else:
self.get_frame().set_alpha(rcParams["legend.framealpha"])

why are there two ways of setting framealpha? I would stick with the self.get_frame().set_alpha() way, unless we should change it everywhere to self.framealpha. Also, we don't need shadow is True, it can be just shadow.

Alright will change both lines as proposed.

else:
self.get_frame().set_alpha(framealpha)
