如何在matplotlib中添加标签以进行绘图

Question

This is the graph:

I need to add label to graph lines. Blue line represents left and red line represents right. How do I do that? I used set_ylabel but that added label to left of graph as shown in it.

    self.fig = Figure(figsize=(6, 4), dpi=96)
    self.ax =  self.fig.add_subplot(111)
    self.graph = FigureCanvasTkAgg(self.fig, master=self.win)
    self.canvas = self.graph.get_tk_widget()
    a = self.df["index"].unique()
    line, = self.ax.plot(a,self.df.loc[self.df.foot == "right","total_force"].values)
    self.ax.set_ylabel("right")
    line2, = self.ax.plot(a,self.df.loc[self.df.foot == "left","total_force"].values)
    self.clean_button()
    self.clean_flush()
    self.canvas.place(x= 150, y = 5)

Answer 1

使用这里描述的图例： https : //matplotlib.org/3.2.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.legend.html

Answer 2

You have to specify something more when you call the plot() method: Instead of

line, = self.ax.plot(a,self.df.loc[self.df.foot == "right","total_force"].values)

Use

line, = self.ax.plot(a,self.df.loc[self.df.foot == "right","total_force"].values,
                     label = "right")

line2, = self.ax.plot(a,self.df.loc[self.df.foot == "left","total_force"].values
                      label = "left") 

And then show the legend using:

self.ax.legend()
