Multiple plots in one figure in Python
matplotlib, plot, python
Solution
This is very simple to do:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(<X AXIS VALUES HERE>, <Y AXIS VALUES HERE>, 'line type', label='label here')
plt.plot(<X AXIS VALUES HERE>, <Y AXIS VALUES HERE>, 'line type', label='label here')
plt.legend(loc='best')
plt.show()
You can keep adding `plt.plot` as many times as you like. As for `line type`, you need to first specify the color. So for blue, it's `b`. And for a normal line it's `-`. An example would be:
plt.plot(total_lengths, sort_times_heap, 'b-', label="Heap")
Problem
I am new to python and am trying to plot multiple lines in the same figure using matplotlib. The value of my Y-axis is stored in a dictionary and I make corresponding values in X-axis in the following code My code is like this: ``` for i in range(len(ID)): AxisY= PlotPoints[ID[i]] if len(AxisY)> 5: AxisX= [len(AxisY)] for i in range(1,len(AxisY)): AxisX.append(AxisX[i-1]-1) plt.plot(AxisX,AxisY) plt.xlabel('Lead Time (in days)') plt.ylabel('Proportation of Events Scheduled') ax = plt.gca() ax.invert_xaxis() ax.yaxis.tick_right() ax.yaxis.set_label_position("right") plt.show() ``` But I am getting separate figures with a single plot one by one. Can anybody help me figure out what is wrong with my code? Why can't I produce multiple-line plotting? Thanks a lot!
