Plotting two lines with seaborn using lineplot

Question

I am trying to plot two lines on the Y axis with sns.lineplot with a dataframe that follows this structure:

Datestamp       y_1     y_2
2020-08-01      0       1
2020-08-02      1       2
2020-08-03      3       1
2020-08-04      5       1

In the documentation it uses hue which I do not have in my dataFrame, when I run two lines one below the other like so:

sns.lineplot(x = 'Datestamp', y = 'y_1', data=df)
sns.lineplot(x = 'Datestamp', y = 'y_2', data=df)

And add a random hue parameter I am not sure if the line hues are the same for different lines and the hue legend gets duplicated.

How can I get a simple two-line chart using seaborn?

Answer 1

Given you current structure you can do this:

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


sns.lineplot(x = 'Datestamp', y = 'y_1', data=df, color='r', lw=3)
sns.lineplot(x = 'Datestamp', y = 'y_2', data=df, color='g', lw=3)
plt.legend(labels=['x_1','y_1'], facecolor='white')
