matplotlib insert legend code example

Example 1: how to add legend to python plot

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()

Example 2: matplotlib add legend axis x

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_title('ADR vs Rating (CS:GO)')
ax.scatter(x=data[:,0],y=data[:,1],label='Data')
plt.plot(data[:,0], m*data[:,0] + b,color='red',label='Our Fitting 
Line')
ax.set_xlabel('ADR')
ax.set_ylabel('Rating')
ax.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
