I have some data that I want to plot on a scatter chart, and display the associated label for each point. The data looks like
xlist=[1,2,3,4]
ylist=[2,3,4,5]
labels=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
I can plot using Seaborn and tried to use mplcursor, but the displayed labels are the x and y instead of labels.
sns.scatterplot(x, y)
mplcursors.cursor(hover=True)
How can I make it display the labels, instead of (x, y)?
You will need to read the mplcursors documentation and copy the example on that matter from it to your code. Let me do that for you:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import mplcursors
xlist=[1,2,3,4]
ylist=[2,3,4,5]
labels=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
sns.scatterplot(xlist, ylist)
cursor = mplcursors.cursor(hover=True)
cursor.connect(
"add", lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_text(labels[sel.target.index]))
plt.show()
