is it possible to use matplotlib’s legend() for a bar chart? I am
plotting a number of bars with different colors on the same axes and I
would like to label each color.
legend () seems to want to label every single bar on my bar chart.
Thanks in advance.
yes, see
http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples/barchart_demo.py
In a nutshell, bar returns a list of rectangle objects, and you need
to pass a proxy element of this list (eg the first element) to the
legend command.
