Hi,
In the code below legend(label) for ax2 is shown as ax2.legend() is called after ax1.legend().
Both plots do show up as expected.
What should I do to get the legends for both plots.
Thank you
Raju

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as py
x=np.arange(0.0,np.e,0.02)
y1=np.exp(-x)
y2=np.exp(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax1=fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2=ax1.twinx()
ax1.plot(x,y1,label=“First”)
ax2.plot(x,y2,label=“Second”)
ax1.legend()
ax2.legend()
plt.show()

Raju, I think ax1.legend() is appearing under ax2.legend(). The problem is that the legend() function works on a single axes object, but we technically have two axes objects.
I wonder if there needs to be some additional thought put into twinx and twiny and how it works with other aspects of matplotlib?

Try something like
handles1, labels1 = ax1.get_legend_handles_labels()
handles2, labels2 = ax2.get_legend_handles_labels()
ax2.legend(handles1+handles2, labels1+labels2)
Also, see
