To plot overlapping lines in matplotlib, we can use variable overlapping that basically sets the opacity or alpha value in the plot.
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Initialize a variable overlapping to set the alpha value of the line.
- Plot line1 and line2 with red and green colors, respectively, with the same alpha value.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True overlapping = 0.150 line1 = plt.plot([1, 3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 1], c='red', alpha=overlapping, lw=5) line2 = plt.plot([7, 2, 5, 7, 5, 2, 7], c='green', alpha=overlapping, lw=5) plt.show()
