Possibility to add extraEnvOptions (similar to extraAxisOptions)?

Options to tikzpicture, hmm, never heard of it. What kind of thing would you imagine?

[blubbafett]

I.e.

\pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={line width=0.5pt}}

or something like

\tikzstyle{plot legend}=[
   rounded corners=2.5pt,inner xsep=3pt,inner ysep=2pt,
   draw=black,fill=white,
   font=\footnotesize,cells={anchor=center},
   nodes={inner sep=2pt,text depth=0.15em,rounded corners=0pt,right}]
\pgfplotsset{every axis legend/.style={plot legend,at={(0.98,0.98)},below left}}

Might be that this can be placed inside the axis environment as well, not 100% sure. But IMO it makes the document cleaner if put outside.

Yeah definitely. I'm not sure what \pgfplotsset{every axis legend/. does when different legend options are specified in the axis environment, but I can see adding something like this after \begin{tikzpicture} would be useful. Let's not call it "option" though; after all, it's not like the syntax is \begin{tikzpicture}[extra stuff here], but more like

\begin{tikzpicture}
extra stuff here
[...]

Maybe extraTikzSettings?

Settings sounds better than options, so you can go for that. Not sure which option(s) that are used when you have the some options in the \pgfplotsset{every axis.legend/.} outside the axis environment and other legend options inside the environment, but what I've mainly done is to just make sure the legend is present in the plot in Matlab, and then do all the settings from \pgfplotsset{ever axis legend/. in order to get the legend as I want it to be.

Just thought that after the neat way of adding extra axis options was introduced in m2t (saves me for a lot of time actually, so it's fantastic), it could be nice to have the same possibility outside the axis environment as well, even though it probably won't be used as much as the extraAxisOptions.

I agree I'd be useful. I'll add it later today.
