Hi,
I'm plotting two y-axis with the twinx() command. But when I'm
creating my legend there is only one entry in the legend-box instead
of two.
Here is my code:
grafik1 = plt.figure()
ax1 = grafik1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.plot(TIME, BTM, color='red', label='Biomass')
ax1.set_ylabel('Biomass')
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax2.plot(TIME, FLUOR, label='Productivity')
ax2.set_ylabel('Produktivity')
ax2.set_xlabel('Time')
grafik1_legend = legend(loc=10)
This is because "legend" creates a legend only in the current axes.
Note that "twinx" creates a separate axes.
You need to manually specify which plot items to show in the legend.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/legend_guide.html
Or, you may use axes_grid.parasite_axes which does this job for you
(but do not use this toolkit blindly but read the documentation)
