Python 带有多个图例条目的Matplotlib直方图

我有一个生成直方图的代码，识别三种类型的字段；“低”、“中”和“高”：

这就产生了：

如何获得三种不同颜色的图例？

您需要自己创建图例。为此，创建一些图中未显示的矩形（称为代理艺术家）

完整示例：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle

data = np.random.rayleigh(size=1000)*35

N, bins, patches = plt.hist(data, 30, ec="k")

cmap = plt.get_cmap('jet')
low = cmap(0.5)
medium =cmap(0.25)
high = cmap(0.8)


for i in range(0,4):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(low)
for i in range(4,11):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(medium)
for i in range(11,30):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(high)

#create legend
handles = [Rectangle((0,0),1,1,color=c,ec="k") for c in [low,medium, high]]
labels= ["low","medium", "high"]
plt.legend(handles, labels)

plt.xlabel("Watt Hours", fontsize=16)  
plt.ylabel("Households", fontsize=16)
plt.xticks(fontsize=14)  
plt.yticks(fontsize=14)

plt.gca().spines["top"].set_visible(False)  
plt.gca().spines["right"].set_visible(False)

plt.show()

根据我的说法，您只需要在

hist

函数中传递所需的标签作为参数，例如

plt.hist(x, bins=20, alpha=0.5, label='my label')

请参见此处的示例

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle

data = np.random.rayleigh(size=1000)*35

N, bins, patches = plt.hist(data, 30, ec="k")

cmap = plt.get_cmap('jet')
low = cmap(0.5)
medium =cmap(0.25)
high = cmap(0.8)


for i in range(0,4):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(low)
for i in range(4,11):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(medium)
for i in range(11,30):
    patches[i].set_facecolor(high)

#create legend
handles = [Rectangle((0,0),1,1,color=c,ec="k") for c in [low,medium, high]]
labels= ["low","medium", "high"]
plt.legend(handles, labels)

plt.xlabel("Watt Hours", fontsize=16)  
plt.ylabel("Households", fontsize=16)
plt.xticks(fontsize=14)  
plt.yticks(fontsize=14)

plt.gca().spines["top"].set_visible(False)  
plt.gca().spines["right"].set_visible(False)

plt.show()

plt.hist(x, bins=20, alpha=0.5, label='my label')
