Show only certain items in legend Python Matplotlib

Python Matplotlib Server Side Programming Programming

Using plt.legend(), we can add or show certain items just by putting the values in the list.

Steps

Set the X-axis label using plt.xlabel() method.
Set the Y-axis label using plt.ylabel() method.
Plot the lines using the lists that are passed in the plot() method argument.
Location and legend_drawn flags can help to find a location and make the flag True for border.
Set the legend with “blue” and “orange” elements.
To show the figure use plt.show() method.

Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.ylabel("Y-axis ")
plt.xlabel("X-axis ")

plt.plot([9, 5], [2, 5], [4, 7, 8])

location = 0 # For the best location
legend_drawn_flag = True
plt.legend(["blue", "orange"], loc=0, frameon=legend_drawn_flag)

plt.show()
