I like working with Matplotlib aka Pylab for my plotting needs in Python, but today I stumbled on a weird issue when creating a mixed bar + line plot with legend. Take the following snippet:
pylab.bar(x, yr, color='#88aa33', align='center', label='histogram') pylab.plot(x, yc, 'bo-', label='cumulative') pylab.legend()
This generates something like (note the entry overload in the legend):
[Update: this issue seems to be solved. The issue described here occurred with Matplotlib version 0.91.2. With Matplotlib 0.99.0 I don't have this problem anymore.]
