要控制图例中的填充(有效地使图例框变大),请使用borderpadkwarg。
例如,以下是默认值:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.show()
如果我们使用borderpad=2更改内部填充,则会使整个图例框变大(单位是字体大小的倍数,类似于em):import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left', borderpad=2)
plt.show()
或者,您可能需要更改项目之间的间距。使用labelspacing来控制:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left', labelspacing=2)
plt.show()
然而,在大多数情况下,同时调整labelspacing和borderpad最有意义:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left', borderpad=1.5, labelspacing=1.5)
plt.show()
另一方面,如果您有非常大的标记,您可能希望使图例中显示的行的长度更大。例如,默认值可能如下所示:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 5)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, marker='o', markersize=20,
label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.show()
如果我们改变handlelength,我们将在图例中得到更长的行,这看起来更真实一些。(我还在这里调整borderpad和labelspacing以提供更多的空间。)import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 5)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i in range(1, 6):
ax.plot(x, i*x + x, marker='o', markersize=20,
label='$y={i}x + {i}$'.format(i=i))
ax.legend(loc='upper left', handlelength=5, borderpad=1.2, labelspacing=1.2)
plt.show()
在文档中,您可能还需要探索其他一些选项:Padding and spacing between various elements use following
keywords parameters. These values are measure in font-size
units. E.g., a fontsize of 10 points and a handlelength=5
implies a handlelength of 50 points. Values from rcParams
will be used if None.
