When working with Matplotlib of visualize your data there are situations that you want to show the legend and in some cases you want to hide the legend. Showing or hiding the legend is very simple, as long as you know how to do it, the below example showcases both showing and hiding the legend from your plot.
The code used in this example uses pandas and matplotlib to plot the data. The full example of this is part of my machine learning example repository on Github where you can find this specific code and more.
Plot with legend
The below image shows the plotted data with a legend. Having a legend is in some cases very good, however in some cases it might be very disturbing to your image. Personally I think keeping a plot very clean (without a legend) is the best way of presenting a plot in many cases.
df.plot(kind='line',x='ds',y='y',ax=ax, legend=True)
Plot without legend
The below image shows the plotted data without a legend. Having a legend is in some cases very good, however in some cases it might be very disturbing to your image. Personally I think keeping a plot very clean (without a legend) is the best way of presenting a plot in many cases.
The code used for this is shown below. As you can see we use legend=False
df.plot(kind='line',x='ds',y='y',ax=ax, legend=False)
