Line Chart Python two lines based on single measure

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to create a line chart in Python Visual with the following;

X-axisLegendMeasure
0,808333Dim1291
8,522222Dim2295
13,74167Dim1291
28,32222Dim2297

 

The result be like this

I'm struggling to get that second line in by the column "Legend"

 

The code I have;

 

 

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

#ax = plt.gca()
f, ax = plt.subplots()

line1 = dataset.plot('X-axis', 'Measure', color="#333333")
line2 = dataset.plot('X-axis', 'Measure', color="#999999")

plt.show()

Here is the simplest implementation, hardcoding your legend values.

 

ax = matplotlib.pyplot.gca()
dataset.query('Legend == "Dim1"').plot(x='X-axis', y='Measure',color='green', ax=ax, label='Dim1')
dataset.query('Legend == "Dim2"').plot(x='X-axis', y='Measure',color='red', ax=ax, label='Dim2')
matplotlib.pyplot.show()
