Legends with text to the right of line styles

As you can see from the legend

documentation , there is an argument markerfirst

that can be set to False so that the markers are displayed last.

plt.legend(markerfirst=False)

      

        
        
        
      

    

Complete example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

for i in range(3):
    plt.plot([1,2,3],[3-i, i/3., i], marker="o",label="label {}".format(i))

plt.legend(markerfirst=False)
plt.show()
