I was experimenting a bit with the answer code of this stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61226106/10810208 for my project I am making a live system monitor, but I can't figure out how to put a label on a Line2D, because now it is only 1 line but there will be more. this is the part I have trouble with:
self.ax1.set_xlabel('time in 1/10 of a second')
self.ax1.set_ylabel('usage in %')
self.line1 = Line2D([], [], color='blue') #here I need to add the label to
self.line1_tail = Line2D([], [], color='blue', linewidth=2)
self.line1_head = Line2D([], [], color='red', marker='o', markeredgecolor='r')
self.ax1.add_line(self.line1)
self.ax1.add_line(self.line1_tail)
self.ax1.add_line(self.line1_head)
self.ax1.set_xlim(0, self.xlim)
self.ax1.set_ylim(0, 100)
I just cant figure out why adding: Line2D([],[], color='blue', label='cpu') doesn't work. Am I just stupid right now?
here is the full code:
