[Matplotlib-users] Stopping Legend From Overlapping the Graph
How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at all with the graph? The docs for the legend() loc parameter only seem to specify where *on* the graph you want it to show, which is driving me nuts because even using best, it usually hides some of my data. I want to see *all* of my graph, as well as the legend. Is there any way to do this with pylab? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Stopping Legend From Overlapping the Graph
The linked page below shows how you put the legend above the graph. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/plotting/legend.html#legend-location You can put it below the axes by adjusting the bbox_to_anchor parameter. Try something like bbox_to_anchor=(0., -0.1, 1., -0.1), loc=1 Make sure to adjust the suplot parameter (or axes location) to make enough room for the legend. -JJ On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Chris Spencerchriss...@gmail.com wrote: How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at all with the graph?
