I want to show marker without the line, mean, median line in the legend. I don't know how to remove the line in the marker I try to add the handlelength=0. in the legend, but it will remove all the line in the legend. #draw boxplot medianprops = dict(linestyle='dashdot', linewidth=1, color='darkgoldenrod') meanprops = dict(linestyle=(0,(3, 1, 1, 1)), linewidth=1, color='fuchsia') # extract the characteristic in the boxplot B = ax[1].boxplot(data, vert=0, showfliers=False, medianprops=medianprops, showmeans=True, meanline=True, meanprops=meanprops) lower_bound, upper_bound = [item.get_xdata()[1] for item in B['whiskers']] boxes = [item.get_xdata() for item in B['boxes']][0] # cal the condition of outlier q1 = np.percentile(data, 25) q3 = np.percentile(data, 75) iqr = q3 - q1 upper_box = boxes[2] mild_c = 1.5 * iqr + upper_box extr_c = 3.0 * iqr + upper_box # catagorize outlier mild_outlier = data[data >= mild_c] mild_outlier = mild_outlier[mild_outlier < extr_c] extreme_outlier = data[data >= extr_c] # draw the figure ax[1].set_xlabel('Fuel Efficiency (mpg)') ax[1].set_title('boxplot of Fuel Efficincies(mpg)') marker1 = ax[1].plot(mild_outlier, np.ones_like(mild_outlier), marker='+', color='blue', linestyle = None) marker2 = ax[1].plot(extreme_outlier, np.ones_like(extreme_outlier), marker='+', color='red') print(B) # draw label ax[1].legend([B["medians"][0], B["means"][0], marker1[0]], ['median', 'mean', 'marker'], loc='upper right') plt.show() enter image description here Continue reading...
