Python Legend, put legend outside of plot display
Often when you legend is too large, it is convenient to put it off to the side. Here's how...
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(a,b, label="legend label")
plt.legend(loc='center left', bbox_to_anchor=(1, 0.5),prop={'size':10})
An example here:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot(a,b, label="legend label")
plt.legend(loc='center left', bbox_to_anchor=(1, 0.5),prop={'size':10})

It works... but if the label is too long, it gets cut. How do you increase the size of the region outside the frame, to make sure that does not happen?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I haven't run into that problem before. You may need to make the figure bigger, or use plt.subplots_adjust() to add space to one side.
