🔒 matplotlib how to plot side by side with one legend

[fossil pine]

I want to have this, but how do I set the color manually so that they match up with the legend, and why is the legend so far away?

Pass color= to the plot call. Otherwise it uses a default palette. not sure about the legend.

I think you want this to control the legend: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.legend.html

another thing was, why are the subplots so close together

can I space them out a bit?

I'd look at the gridspec stuff at https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplots.html#matplotlib-pyplot-subplots
