Good evening,
I've been trying to find a way to move the legend outside
the plot so it doesn't cover it up. I've seen some things
online but I can quite get them to work (probably just my
lack of knowledge about matplotlib).
The section of code creating the plot looks like,
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1);
p1 = ax.bar(ind, IO_Time_Plot, width, color="r", align='center');
p2 = ax.bar(ind, Diff_Plot, width, color="y",
bottom=IO_Time_Plot, align='center');
ax.set_ylabel('Time (secs)');
ax.set_title('Elapsed Time and IO Time',fontstyle='italic');
ax.set_xticks(ind);
group_labels = [];
for item in names:
group_labels.append(item);
ax.set_xticklabels(group_labels);
fig.autofmt_xdate();
#ax.legend( bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2, borderaxespad=0.);
ax.legend( (p1[0], p2[0]), ('IO Time', 'Total Elapsed Time'));
You can see my attempt at moving the legend outside the bounding box
but when I try this, the legend never appears.
TIA!
Jeff

I hate to be the first one to comment on this post but I forgot to give
the error message and version of matplotlib. The error is,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./multi_file_test_2.py", line 460, in <module>
ax.legend( (p1[0], p2[0]), ('IO Time', 'Total Elapsed Time'),
bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2);
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line
3617, in legend
self.legend_ = mlegend.Legend(self, handles, labels, **kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bbox_to_anchor'
The version of matplotlib I'm using is, 0.98.3-4ubuntu1

I'm quite sure that the *bbox_to_anchor* parameter is introduced later
than 0.98.
I think you have a few options,
* use "loc" parameter.
* see if "figlegend" helps.
* create a empty axes just for the purpose of drawing the legend.
* upgrade to 1.0.1 and I highly recommend it if you can.

I was worried about that. I will try to update my system but it's
an old Ubuntu 8.10 system. Looks like I have an excuse to
upgrade Ubuntu :)
Thanks!

Hi,
I would simply try to attach the legend to the figure object instead of the
axis.

Matplotlib is great! I created all my figures in this paper [0] using matplotlib. I am impressed with the quality you get. I attach the plotting script for fig. 9, which does exactly what you want, I believe. There is a lot of other junk in there, so look for the "legend" function, it all happens in one line. Cheers, Paul. [0] http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3399, the paper should appear in phys. rev. B soon. |
