Matplotlib Legend Tutorial || matplotlib legend outside of graph || Matplotlib Tips

This matplotlib legend tutorial walks you through basic and advanced options for matplotlib legends using Python code for a series of matplotlib legend examples. I start from the basics including making a matplotlib legend and the label argument. I show you how to change the matplotlib legend order, and then we thoroughly discuss the matplotlib legend location. I also demo how you can move the matplotlib legend outside of the graph. We move on to making a matplotlib legend horizontal using the ncol keyword argument. Finally, we talk about styling the matplotlib legend including changing the matplotlib legend fontsize, other font properties, the label color, removing the border with frameon, and adding a title to the legend. Last but not least, I show you how to change the matplotlib legend background color with the facecolor argument.

Great that you are doing your videos. Please do more of them. If you could do one or more tutorials for subplot and legends and stylings it would be excellent

Thanks. I have a question regarding Seaborn. When I tried violinplot it created the legend automatically, but when I used scatterplot it did not. Hopefully you can do a video on this scenario.

Great job. I'm facing the following problem: I have a dataframe and I've encoded the class feature using lable encoding, which I'm using to define the color each data will be plotted through plt.scatter. I've been strugling for hours trying to creat a legend for this graph, without success. Any comments on that?

hi another great video, could you explain how to deal with legend in seaborn, iIcreated a plot and legend in on top of it in the middle and nothing form the seaborn website helped me to move it out

[bennguyen]

Is there a way to put the legend on the left side (before the y spine)? I tried moving the figure to the right to make room, but still can't get the legend to appear at the left most part of the window!

[Blacklotus]

When I use 'plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1, 1))' to set the legend outside of the visualization, I'm unable to edit the legend using the fontsize and frameon functions. Is there a way to do this?

[geirha]

information on adding two or more legends to same plot would be appreciated

[timon]

how can we make legends for points or scatter plots?
