I am trying to make a legend for my plot. Actually, I made one, but I cannot understand why there are such big spaces between the legend positions.

Graphics[Legend[{
   {Graphics[{CapForm[None], Red, Thickness -> 0.05, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], "A"},
   {Graphics[{CapForm[None], Blue, Thickness -> 0.05, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], "B"},
   {Graphics[{CapForm[None], Green, Thickness -> 0.1, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], "C"}
   }, LegendTextSpace -> 0.25]]

Results in:

wrong legend

    $\begingroup$ What version of Mathematica are you using? Are you using the old PlotLegends` package? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ That explains a lot. Try looking at the new legends functionality. $\endgroup$

I think this does it:

Graphics[Legend[{{Graphics[{CapForm[None], Red, Thickness -> 0.05, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], 
    "A"}, {Graphics[{CapForm[None], Blue, Thickness -> 0.05, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], 
    "B"}, {Graphics[{CapForm[None], Green, Thickness -> 0.1, 
      Line[{{0, 1}, {1, 1}}]}], "C"}}], ImageSize -> 50]

ImageSize -> ## does the trick.
