python图例重复显示_停止matplotlib在图例中重复标签

Here is a very simplified example:

xvalues = [2,3,4,6]

for x in xvalues:

plt.axvline(x,color='b',label='xvalues')

plt.legend()

The legend will now show 'xvalues' as a blue line 4 times in the legend.

Is there a more elegant way of fixing this than the following?

for i,x in enumerate(xvalues):

if not i:

plt.axvline(x,color='b',label='xvalues')

else:

plt.axvline(x,color='b')

You can remove duplicate labels by putting them in a dictionary before calling legend. This is because dicts ca
