I was plotting two graphs and their legends are overlapping on top of another. How can I put the legend for both 'Perfect' and 'Imperfect" without being overlapped?

plt.plot(wave_t, new_int_t, label='Perfect') #perfect
plt.ylabel("Relative Intensity")
plt.legend()

ax2 = plt.twinx()
ax2.plot(wave_t, int_t, c='C1', label='Imperfect')  #imperfect
ax2.set_ylabel("I(λ,T)")
ax2.legend()

plt.xlabel('Wavelength [nm]')
plt.title('Comparison of Lamp Spectrum')

you can try `ax2.legend(loc='upper left')` – Tomerikoo Dec 21 '19 at 12:38
@Tomerikoo Is there a way to put the legend together? – CapKoko Dec 21 '19 at 12:42
