Reducing width of legend

Hi, I am producing graphs for a report where space is a very limited ressource (2-page limit). I noticed that Matlab adds some extra whitespace between the text inside of a legend and the right border of the legend. Especially when the font size of the text within the legend is 8, there is quite a bit of unnecessary whitespace. Is there a way to remove this whitespace? Matlab would not let me drag the right border of the legend passed a certain extent. I also tried to change the 'width' of the 'Position' property of the legend, but for some reason this only causes the legend to move to a different location, and doesn't change the width.

Never mind -- I just figured out a solution. For some reason, setting the 'Units' property to 'pixels' allows one to freely resize the legend.
