"No artists with labels found to put in legend." error when changing the legend size in pyplot

I want to make my legend size bigger in Pyplot. I used this answer to do that. Here is my code.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

sns.set_style("whitegrid")
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = [15, 7]

lst = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,4,5,6]

plt.plot(lst)
plt.legend(fontsize="x-large") # Here I make it bigger but doesn't work
plt.legend(["This is my legend"])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')
plt.show()

I get this warning and I don't know what is wrong. I don't understand what "Artist" means here.

No artists with labels found to put in legend. Note that artists whose label start with an underscore are ignored when legend() is called with no argument.

Solution

  • This worked for me:

    plt.legend(["This is my legend"], fontsize="x-large")
