df.plot(kind = "bar")
plt.legend(["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"])
plt.legend(ncol=4, loc='center', bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, 1.06))

plt.xticks(rotation=360)
plt.show()

Answer 1

I think you need to pass all the parameters in plt.legend() at once. Try it like this:

plt.legend(labels=["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"], ncol=4, loc='center', bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, 1.06))

instead of supplying labels and other params separately.

And as pointed by @BigBen in comments, your code would readily give expected result if you do not use transpose()
