You can also leave out the label, or in a loop like this,
conditionally assign a label of '_nolegend_', which suppresses adding
it to the legend. This example shows how the different options work:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x1,y1 = np.random.rand(2,10)
x2,y2 = np.random.rand(2,10)
x3,y3 = np.random.rand(2,10)
x4,y4 = np.random.rand(2,10)
plt.plot(x1, y1, label='first')
plt.plot(x2, y2) # No label, so not included
plt.plot(x3, y3, label='_nolegend_') # Actively suppress
plt.plot(x4, y4, label='fourth')
plt.legend() # Only shows lines 'first' and 'fourth'
