I'm building a cluster with genetic algorithm optimization, but I'm having problems creating a legend for the cluster plot. This is my code. Please help me.

c1 = numpy.array([X[:, 0], X[:, 1]]).T
c2 = numpy.array([G[:, 0], G[:, 1]]).T
c3 = numpy.array([H[:, 0], H[:, 1]]).T

data = numpy.concatenate((c1, c2, c3), axis=0)

I have labeled this plot

matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], label="cluster 0")
    matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(G[:, 0], G[:, 1], label="cluster 1")
    matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(H[:, 0], H[:, 1], label="cluster 2")
    matplotlib.pyplot.title("Optimal Clustering")
    plt.legend()
    matplotlib.pyplot.show()

def cluster_data(solution, solution_idx):
    global num_clusters, feature_vector_length, data
    cluster_centers = []
    all_clusters_dists = []
    clusters = []
    clusters_sum_dist = []

    for clust_idx in range(num_clusters):
        cluster_centers.append(solution[feature_vector_length*clust_idx:feature_vector_length*(clust_idx 1)])
        cluster_center_dists = euclidean_distance(data, cluster_centers[clust_idx])
        all_clusters_dists.append(numpy.array(cluster_center_dists))

    cluster_centers = numpy.array(cluster_centers)
    all_clusters_dists = numpy.array(all_clusters_dists)

    cluster_indices = numpy.argmin(all_clusters_dists, axis=0)
    for clust_idx in range(num_clusters):
        clusters.append(numpy.where(cluster_indices == clust_idx)[0])
        if len(clusters[clust_idx]) == 0:
            clusters_sum_dist.append(0)
        else:
            clusters_sum_dist.append(numpy.sum(all_clusters_dists[clust_idx, clusters[clust_idx]]))

    clusters_sum_dist = numpy.array(clusters_sum_dist)

    return cluster_centers, all_clusters_dists, cluster_indices, clusters, clusters_sum_dist

num_clusters = 3
feature_vector_length = data.shape[1]
num_genes = num_clusters * feature_vector_length

ga_instance = pygad.GA(num_generations=1000,
                       sol_per_pop=10,
                       init_range_low=0,
                       init_range_high=20,
                       num_parents_mating=5,
                       keep_parents=2,
                       num_genes=num_genes,
                       fitness_func=fitness_func,
                       suppress_warnings=True)

ga_instance.run()

best_solution, best_solution_fitness, best_solution_idx = ga_instance.best_solution()
print("Best solution is {bs}".format(bs=best_solution))
print("Fitness of the best solution is {bsf}".format(bsf=best_solution_fitness))
print("Best solution found after {gen} generations".format(gen=ga_instance.best_solution_generation))

cluster_centers, all_clusters_dists, cluster_indices, clusters, clusters_sum_dist = cluster_data(best_solution, best_solution_idx)

For this plot, can it be like the plot legend display that has been labeled from the beginning as above?

for cluster_idx in range(num_clusters):
    cluster_x = data[clusters[cluster_idx], 0]
    cluster_y = data[clusters[cluster_idx], 1]
    matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(cluster_x, cluster_y)
    matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(cluster_centers[cluster_idx, 0], cluster_centers[cluster_idx, 1], marker="s", s=100)
matplotlib.pyplot.title("Clustering using PyGAD")
matplotlib.pyplot.show()

I'm confused because for this plot display, the cluster_x and cluster_y data are separate. How can I create a legend based on the cluster that is formed, and also the cluster center?

Thank you in advance.

By adding label= to most matplotlib functions, a legend entry will be generated. The legend will be created by plt.legend().

Another possibility is to show the legend into two columns:

handles, labels = plt.gca().get_legend_handles_labels()
handles = [handles[i] for i in range(0, len(handles), 2)] [handles[i] for i in range(1, len(handles), 2)]
labels = [labels[i] for i in range(0, len(labels), 2)]   [labels[i] for i in range(1, len(labels), 2)]
plt.legend(handles=handles, labels=labels, ncol=2)
