Text on the left side of the symbol in matplotlib legend [duplicate]

Question

Is there any built-in function/method or concise way to bring the text on left side of marker/symbol in legend?

Answer 1

this can be done by setting the parameter markerfirstof the matplotlib.pyplot.legend to False.

markerfist : bool If True, legend marker is placed to the left of the legend label. If False, legend marker is placed to the right of the legend label. Default is True.

Something like that:

t = np.arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = 1 + np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(t, s, label='sine')
ax.legend(markerfirst=False)

plt.show()
