I am plotting 20+ timeseries with various scales from a DataFrame using Plots.jl, separated into subplots because the original plot is too crowded. Everything works nicely, but I would like a separate legend (with only the plotted series) for each subplot. Self-contained toy example: using DataFram…

Funny, I get separate legends in each subplot when trying that code

Yeah separate legends is easy and automatic. Did you mean you didn’t want separate legends and just wanted a master legend? That’s difficult and I think I have an issue open for that.

@mkborregaard , @ChrisRackauckas : now I have tried various backends. I get separate legends in gr(), but a single legend in plotly() and plotlyjs(), and an error for pyplot(): julia> pyplot() INFO: Recompiling stale cache file /home/tamas/.julia/lib/v0.5/PyPlot.ji for module PyPlot. …

AFAICS there is nothing wrong with your syntax. It is strange. I am on Plots master and PyPlot release.

I tried master for Plots, PlotlyJS and Plotly, and I get the combined legend. With master PyPlot, I do get the separate legends.

Apologies for reopening an older post, but I have a panel of plots (using Plots.jl) and specifying legend=true at the end while specifying the layout makes it very messy and shows giant legends that cover up most of the subplots. I’d like to specify a master legend i.e. one legend for all subplots, …

You can always hack it together with layout and an extra subplot. plot( plot(rand(100,3), legend = false), plot((1:3)', legend = true, framestyle = :none) )

So the issue here is that I have originally 15 subplots, and doing “layout=(5,3)” fits the graphs well, however if I add the master legend bit as an extra subplot (I had tried doing this earlier myself), it shows an error saying “When doing layout, n(15) != n_override(16). You’re probably trying to …
