Text alignment in a Matplotlib legend
To make text alignment in a matplotlib legend, we can take the following steps −
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Create x data points using numpy.
Plot x, sin(x) and cos(x) using plot() method.
Place legend using legend() method and initialize a method.
Iterate the legend.get_texts() method to set the horizontal alignment.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), label="$y=sin(x)$")
plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), label="$y=cos(x)$")
legend = plt.legend(loc='upper right')
for t in legend.get_texts():
t.set_ha('left')
plt.show()Output
