I would like to plot two dataframes with a 'long' representation, and differing axis, to one plot using sns.lineplot(). Yet, I am failing plot it with a single legend containing the elements of both lineplots.
The issue is similar to this: Secondary axis with twinx(): how to add to legend?, though I'd like to use seaborn.
A minimal working example up to the point I got stuck is given below.
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import numpy as np
import itertools
# mock dataset
lst = range(1,11)
steps1 = list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(itertools.repeat(x, 4) for x in lst))
labels1 = ['A','B']*20
values1 = list(np.random.uniform(0,1,40))
df1 = pd.DataFrame({'steps':steps1, 'lab':labels1, 'vals':values1})
lst = range(6,11)
steps2 = list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(itertools.repeat(x, 4) for x in lst))
labels2 = ['C','D']*10
values2 = list(np.random.uniform(10,20,20))
df2 = pd.DataFrame({'steps':steps2, 'lab2':labels2, 'others':values2})
# plotting
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fig = sns.lineplot(x='steps',y='vals', data=df1, hue='lab',palette='bright', legend='brief')
ax2 = ax.twinx()
fig2 = sns.lineplot(x='steps',y='others', hue='lab2', data=df2 ,palette='dark', legend='brief')
# How do I merge the legends into one?
# the solution below gives me one merged and one separate legend
h1,l1 = fig.get_legend_handles_labels()
h2,l2 = fig2.get_legend_handles_labels()
ax.legend(loc=3, handles=h1+h2, labels = l1+l2)
