How to increase the font size of the legend in my Seaborn plot?
Use matplotlib function setp
according to this example:
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")
ax = sns.stripplot(x="sex", y="total_bill", hue="day", data=tips, jitter=True)
plt.setp(ax.get_legend().get_texts(), fontsize='22') # for legend text
plt.setp(ax.get_legend().get_title(), fontsize='32') # for legend title
plt.show()
Another way is to change font_scale
of all graph with plotting_context
:

There is a much easier way to do this today, simply set up your figure and then call
plt.legend(fontsize='x-large', title_fontsize='40')

Might depend on the version of matplotlib you're using. I'm using 2.2.3 and it has the fontsize
parameter but not the title_fontsize
.
