Possible to hide legend?

[jdanbrown]

R ggplot supports theme(legend.position = "none"), but plotnine doesn't appear to recognize 'none' in theme(legend_position='none').

• http://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/theme.html

Is there another way to do this, or is this a feature that would need to be added?

A workaround for this in the meantime is to set guide=False in scale_* functions

Thanks, confirmed! Leaving this issue open as is.

(ggplot(mpg)
    + geom_point(aes(x='displ', y='hwy', color='class'))
)

(ggplot(mpg)
    + geom_point(aes(x='displ', y='hwy', color='class'))
    + scale_color_discrete(guide=False)
)

Thanks!

This tricks works as I use scale_size_continuous(guide=False) to remove the legend for +geom_text(aes(label='cnt',size=.3)), but still very confusing.

For anyone else looking at this in the future, I was also able to hide the legend by adding show_legend=False in my call to the geom.

(ggplot(mpg)
+ geom_point(aes(x='displ', y='hwy', color='class', show_legend=False))
)

This bug was fixed subsequent to this discussion. theme(legend_position='none') works as intended.

Thank you - make sure it is 'none' without the capital ('None' does not work).

'none' - all lower - works for me on v0.8.0

This works BUT make sure you use 'show_legend = False' outside the aes() call!

Note from the future, it seems to be guide=None now. I had old code with guide=False which upon rerunning yields:

PlotnineError: 'Unknown guide: False'
