28H4 :
I draw my data points with ax.scatter() and connect the data points with a fit using ax.plot().
How do I create a common entry in the legend that combines the marker for the data point with the line of the fit? I want to get a legend entry as I would get it for ax.plot(x, y, '-o', label = 'abc')
.
I have created the following minimal example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x_scatter = np.linspace(0,10,10)
x_line = np.linspace(0,10,100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(5):
ax.scatter(x_scatter, np.sin(x_scatter) + i, label = i)
ax.plot(x_line, np.sin(x_line)+i)
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
Julien :
This 'hack' should work:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x_scatter = np.linspace(0,10,10)
x_line = np.linspace(0,10,100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
prop = ax._get_lines.prop_cycler
for i in range(5):
color = next(prop)['color']
ax.scatter(x_scatter, np.sin(x_scatter) + i, color=color)
ax.plot(x_line, np.sin(x_line)+i, color=color)
ax.plot([], [], '-o', color=color, label = i)
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
