How to plot overlapping lines in Matplotlib?

MatplotlibPythonData Visualization

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()
