Hi, can someone help me why despite of setting cmap:
cmap = plt.colormaps.get_cmap('Set3')
and following snippet of the code:

for index, wn in enumerate(energylist):
    color = cmap(index / len(energylist))
    #single gauss function line plot
    if show_single_gauss:
        ax.plot(plt_range_x,gauss(intenslist[index], plt_range_x, wn, w),color=color,alpha=0.25) 
    #single gauss function filled plot

    legend_labels = [f'S{index+1}' for index in range(10)]

    if show_single_gauss_area:
        ax.fill_between(plt_range_x,gauss(intenslist[index], plt_range_x, wn, w),color=color,alpha=0.25)
        handles = [plt.Rectangle((0,0),1,1, color=color, alpha=0.25) for index in range(len(energylist))]
        ax.legend(handles, legend_labels, title='Single Gaussians', loc='center left', bbox_to_anchor=(1, 0.5))
        plt.subplots_adjust(right=0.85)  # Adjust plot layout to make room for legend

    # sum of gauss functions
    gauss_sum.append(gauss(intenslist[index], plt_range_x, wn, w))

the legend shows wrong?

Hey @shut spire!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.
