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 Spencer<chriss...@gmail.com> wrote: > How do you show the legend below the graph, so it doesn't overlap at > all with the graph?
