How do I align gridlines for two y-axis scales?

I am not sure if this is the prettiest way to do it, but it does fix it with one line: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns import numpy as np import pandas as pd np.random.seed(0) fig = plt.figure() ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111) ax1.plot(pd.Series(np.random.uniform(0, 1, size=10))) ax2 = ax1.twinx() ax2.plot(pd.Series(np.random.uniform(10, 20, size=10)), color=”r”) # … Read more

My matplotlib.pyplot legend is being cut off

How to plot a scatter plot with a legend label for each class

Actually both linked questions provide a way how to achieve the desired result. The easiest method is to create as many scatter plots as unique classes exist and give each a single color and legend entry. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x=[1,2,3,4] y=[5,6,7,8] classes = [2,4,4,2] unique = list(set(classes)) colors = [plt.cm.jet(float(i)/max(unique)) for i in unique] … Read more

Scatter plot with legend for each color in c

First, I have a feeling you meant to use apostrophes, not backticks when declaring colours. For a legend you need some shapes as well as the classes. For example, the following creates a list of rectangles called recs for each colour in class_colours. import matplotlib.patches as mpatches classes = [‘A’,’B’,’C’] class_colours = [‘r’,’b’,’g’] recs = … Read more
