Seaborn: regplot label doesn't seem to work?

[songololo]

The API reference shows that the regplot function can plot a label. However, I can't seem to get the label to appear, whether the regression line is shown or not. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug?

sns.regplot(x, y, ax=ax, dropna=True, label='label')

That gives the plot a label, but like other matplotlib plotting commands to actually _see_ the label you need to make a legend. e.g.

ax = sns.regplot(x, y, ax=ax, dropna=True, label='label')
ax.legend(loc="best")

Thanks for clarifying. Works as intended.

Great!

I think that the solution ax.legend(loc="best") must be automatic. I lost lot of time searchin the solution of this problem.
