matplotlib legend

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(0, 20, 1000)
y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)

plt.plot(x, y1, "-b", label="sine")
plt.plot(x, y2, "-r", label="cosine")
plt.legend(loc="upper left")
plt.ylim(-1.5, 2.0)
plt.show()

position of legend matplotlib

plt.legend(loc='upper right')

place legend on location matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = 6, 3
fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=3)
locs = ["upper left", "lower left", "center right"]
for l, ax in zip(locs, axes.flatten()):
    ax.set_title(l)
    ax.plot([1,2,3],[2,3,1], "b-", label="blue")
    ax.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,1], "r-", label="red")
    ax.legend(loc=l, bbox_to_anchor=(0.6,0.5)) # This is the key statement. 
    ax.scatter((0.6),(0.5), s=81, c="limegreen", transform=ax.transAxes)

plt.tight_layout()    
plt.show()

matplotlib position legend

plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.legend(loc='Center left')
plt.legend(loc='Upper center')
# etc.

legend matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#define x and ysin
plt.plot(x,ysin,label='sin(x)')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
