OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

(RefLink[PlotLabels, paclet:ref/PlotLabels])->labels specifies the labels to use for each data source in a plot.

Possible settings for labels include:

The (Subscript[lbl, i]) can be any expression, including strings, graphics, and formulas.

(RefLink[None, paclet:ref/None]) indicates no label. If there are more items to label than (Subscript[lbl, i]) specified, the subsequent (Subscript[lbl, i]) are taken to be (RefLink[None, paclet:ref/None]).

The positions pos in (RefLink[Placed, paclet:ref/Placed])[labels,pos,…] are relative to each item being labeled.

Positions vary by function, but typically include (RefLink[Above, paclet:ref/Above]), (RefLink[Below, paclet:ref/Below]), scaled positions, etc.

If explicit labeling is specified using (RefLink[Labeled, paclet:ref/Labeled]), it is added to labeling specified through (RefLink[PlotLabels, paclet:ref/PlotLabels]).

Specify labels to use for the data:

ListLinePlot[{{1,2,3,5,8,13,21},{1,2,4,8,16,32,64}},PlotLabels->{"Fibonacci","Powers"}]

Place labels before the ends of the curves:

ListLinePlot[{{1,2,3,5,8,13,21},{1,2,4,8,16,32,64}},PlotLabels->Placed[{"Fibonacci","Powers"},{Scaled[1],Before}]]

Automatically label curves with the keys of an (RefLink[Association, paclet:ref/Association]):

ListLinePlot[<|"aaa"->{1,2,3,5,8,13,21},"bbb"->{1,2,4,8,16,32,64}|>,PlotLabels->Automatic,PlotLegends->None]

Use the expressions being plotted as labels:

Plot[{Sin[x],Cos[x]},{x,0,2Pi},PlotLabels->Placed[Automatic,Above]]
