To add titles to the legend rows in Matplotlib, we can take the following steps −
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Create y data points using numpy.
Make lists of markers and labels.
Create a figure and a set of subplots.
Plot the lines using plot() method, with different labels and markers.
Get the plot handlers for half of the plot.
Get the labels for the legends.
Place the legends on the plot.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True y = np.exp(-np.arange(5)) markers = ["s", "o", "*"] labels = ["one", "two"] fig, ax = plt.subplots() for i in range(6): ax.plot(y * i + i / 2., marker=markers[i // 2], label=labels[i % 2]) h, l = ax.get_legend_handles_labels() ph = [plt.plot([], marker="", ls="")[0]] * 2 handles = ph + h labels = ["Title 1:", "Title 2:"] + l plt.legend(handles, labels, ncol=4) plt.show()
