How to create multiple legends in seaborn/matplotlib?-CodePudding

I want to create a heatmap in seaborn, and have a nice way to see the labels.

With ax.figure.tight_layout(), I am getting

which is obviously bad.

Without ax.figure.tight_layout(), the labels get cropped.

The code is

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sn

n_classes = 10
confusion = np.random.randint(low=0, high=100, size=(n_classes, n_classes))

label_length = 20

label_ind_by_names = {
    "A"*label_length: 0,
    "B"*label_length: 1,
    "C"*label_length: 2,
    "D"*label_length: 3,
    "E"*label_length: 4,
    "F"*label_length: 5,
    "G"*label_length: 6,
    "H"*label_length: 7,
    "I"*label_length: 8,
    "J"*label_length: 9,
}

# confusion matrix
df_cm = pd.DataFrame(
    confusion,
    index=label_ind_by_names.keys(),
    columns=label_ind_by_names.keys()
)
plt.figure()
sn.set(font_scale=1.2)
ax = sn.heatmap(df_cm, annot=True, annot_kws={"size": 16}, fmt='d')
# ax.figure.tight_layout()


plt.show()

I would like to create an extra legend based on label_ind_by_names, then post an abbreviation on the heatmap itself, and be able to look up the abbreviation in the legend.

How can this be done in seaborn?

You can define your own
