To make two markers share the same label in the legend using Matplotlib, we can take the following steps
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create x and y data points using numpy.
- Plot x and y(as a sin(x) and cos(x)), using plot() method.
- Place legend with location=1.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100) plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), ls="dotted", label='y=f(x)') plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), ls="-", label='y=f(x)') plt.legend(loc=1) plt.show()
Output
It is not recommended to make two markers share the same label in the legend because different plots should have different markers and labels.
