I want to put a point in the legend, which is the easiest way?

My code is:

Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 2}, Epilog -> {Directive[Red, PointSize[Large]], Point[{1, 1}]}, PlotLegends -> {"x^2"}]

This gives me the legend of the parabola but if I add another entry it does not print the point in the legend. What should I add?

Thanks so much in advance

  • $\begingroup$ Are you wanting one legend entry that is a blue line with a red dot in it or are you wanting two legend entries, one that is a blue line and one that is a red dot? $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 7, 2022 at 21:21

    $\begingroup$ I want two items in the legend, a blue line and a dot. So 2 legend entries. I triesd @BobHanlon suggestion and it works but if you have a bit of text the point is not placed in the mid of the blue line in the legend. I would like to have a result like in Matlab where everything is aligned $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 7, 2022 at 21:40

plot1 = Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 2}, PlotLegends -> {"x^2"}]; plot2 = ListPlot[{{1, 1}}, PlotStyle -> Red, PlotLegends -> {"A Red Dot"}]; Show[plot1, plot2]

Epilog puts graphics primitives after the plot is drawn. The legend has to be put together manually.

Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 2} , Frame -> True , ImageSize -> 400 , Epilog -> {AbsolutePointSize[6], Red, Point@{1, 1}}, PlotLegends -> Placed[LineLegend[{Blue, Blue} , {"\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(x\), \(2\)]\)", "Red dot"} , LegendLayout -> {"Column", 1} (*,LegendFunction\[Rule](Framed[# ,Background\[Rule]GrayLevel[0.9] ,RoundingRadius\[Rule]4]&)*) , LegendMarkers -> {"", Graphics[{Red, Disk[]}]}], {1, 0.5}]]
