Hi In one part of my script I plot some lines and assign labels to the lines.
Later in the script I create a figure legend. How do I get the labels, that I assigned at plot-time, to be used in the legend? Currently I am manually specifying the legend labels. # Plot some lines ... set values for the labels ax.plot(r.date, r.FSA, label='FSA-Load-Pct') ax.plot(r.date, r.FSB, label='FSB-Load-Pct') ax.plot(r.date, r.Heap, label='Heap-Use-Pct') . . . . . # now setup the legend for the figure # It would be nice to be able to use the labels already assigned # to the lines .. rather than having to manually respecify the labels for # the legend mylines=ax.get_lines() # mylables=ax.get_line_labels() I WISH THIS WAS POSSIBLE !! # this is one line may wrap in the email message figlegend = fig0.legend(mylines, ('FSA-Load-Pct','FSB-Load-Pct','Heap-Use-Pct'), loc=(0.5,0.01), prop=matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties(size='smaller')) Thanks Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
