How to display labels associated with each plot ?

Using code :

plt.scatter(data_x, data_y, marker='o' , label="test 1")
plt.scatter(data1_x, data1_y, marker='x' , label="test 2")

does not render the labels "test 1" and "test 2"

Answer 1

Just add plt.legend() to the end of your code.

plt.scatter(data_x, data_y, marker='o' , label="test 1")
plt.scatter(data1_x, data1_y, marker='x' , label="test 2")
plt.legend()
