Easily label line(s) using matplotlib.

The code is heavily based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16992038/inline-labels-in-matplotlib (original code from NauticalMile).

## Install

Just do:

```bash

pip install matplotlib-label-lines

```

You can try it online on binder [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/cphyc/matplotlib-label-lines/master), get some inspiration from [the example](https://github.com/cphyc/matplotlib-label-lines/blob/master/example/matplotlib_label_lines.ipynb) or from the following script:

```python

import numpy as np

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

from scipy.stats import chi2, loglaplace

from labellines import labelLine, labelLines

X = np.linspace(0, 1, 500)

A = [1, 2, 5, 10, 20]

funcs = [np.arctan, np.sin, loglaplace(4).pdf, chi2(5).pdf]

fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=2, nrows=3, constrained_layout=True, figsize=(8, 8))

axes = axes.flatten()

ax = axes[0]

for a in A:

    ax.plot(X, np.arctan(a * X), label=str(a))

labelLines(ax.get_lines(), zorder=2.5)

ax = axes[1]

for a in A:

    ax.plot(X, np.sin(a * X), label=str(a))

labelLines(ax.get_lines(), align=False, fontsize=14)

ax = axes[2]

for a in A:

    ax.plot(X, loglaplace(4).pdf(a * X), label=str(a))

xvals = [0.8, 0.55, 0.22, 0.104, 0.045]

labelLines(ax.get_lines(), align=False, xvals=xvals, color="k")

ax = axes[3]

for a in A:

    ax.plot(X, chi2(5).pdf(a * X), label=str(a))

lines = ax.get_lines()

l1 = lines[-1]

labelLine(

    l1,

    0.6,

    label=r"$Re=${}".format(l1.get_label()),

    ha="left",

    va="bottom",

    align=False,

    backgroundcolor="none",

)

labelLines(lines[:-1], yoffsets=0.01, align=False, backgroundcolor="none")

# labelLines also supports log-scaled x-axes

ax = axes[4]

for a in A:

    ax.semilogx(X, np.arctan(5 * a * X), label=str(a))

labelLines(ax.get_lines(), zorder=2.5)

ax = axes[5]

for a in A:

    ax.semilogx(X, chi2(5).pdf(a * X), label=str(a))

labelLines(ax.get_lines(), xvals=(0.1, 1), zorder=2.5)

fig.show()

```
