Multi Columns Legend in Geodataframe

I tried to plot Jakarta's map based on the district.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(4.5,10))

jakarta_mandiri_planar.plot(ax=ax, column='Kecamatan', legend=True, legend_kwds={'loc':'center left'})
leg= ax.get_legend()
leg.set_bbox_to_anchor((1.04, 0.5))

enter image description here

I plotted the legend on the right of the map, but I think it's too long. Can I make the legend into two or three columns? If so, how?

Solution

  • Use the ncols keyword:

    df.plot(column="NAME", cmap="tab20", legend=True, figsize=(8,8))

    enter image description here

    df.plot(column="NAME", cmap="tab20", legend=True, figsize=(10,10), 
        legend_kwds={"ncols":2, "loc":"lower left"})
