In this tutorial we’re going to learn about axis labels, titles and legends in Matplotlib. These could help the graph to be self-explanatory with such kind of context.

Parameters Name Description label label text fontdict label text font dictionary, like family, color, weight and size labelpad Spacing in points between the label and the x-axis # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import numpy as np import matplotlib.
