Multiple line plotting is easy to do in Python. There are many ways people can do this with various Python visualization tools, e.g., matplotlib, seaborn, bokeh, holoviews, and hvplot. Here I am demonstrating how I plot multiple lines in bokeh and hvplot. For your reference, the package versions I used for this article are: Python 3.8.2, hvplot 0.6.0, and bokeh 2.1.0.

To get started, let’s create a very simple dataset with three variables — x, y, and group.

import numpy as np 
import pandas as pd
