Ethereum Plotting Issue: Can’t Plot Multiple Lines in a Single Chart
I’ve encountered a common issue with Ethereum data where plotting multiple lines in a single chart seems to get stuck on a single line. This issue can be frustrating and make it difficult to analyze the data.
The Issue
In Ethereum, we typically plot multiple lines on a single chart using libraries like Plotly or Matplotlib. However, when we try to do so, we often find that only one line is plotted, even though we have multiple time series values for different assets or indicators.
Screenshot of the Issue
To better understand the issue, I’ve included a screenshot showing the issue:
+---------------------------------------------+
| Ethereum |
+---------------------------------------+
| Close Value (USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
| Line 1 |
| Closing Value (USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
| Line 2 |
| Closing Value (USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
| Ethereum |
+---------------------------------------+
| Opening Price (ETH/USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
| Closing Price (ETH/USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
| Line 1 |
| Opening Price (ETH/USD) |
+---------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
| Ethereum |
+---------------------------------------+
| Volume (ETH) |
+---------------------------------------+
| Line 2 |
| Volume (ETH) |
+---------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
| Market Data |
+---------------------------------------+
As you can see, there are two lines plotted on the chart: one for the closing value and one for the opening price. However, there is no third line to plot.
Possible Causes
This issue can be caused by several factors:
- Insufficient Data: If we only have a limited number of samples or time intervals, it may not be enough to create multiple lines on the chart.
- Incorrect Plotting Parameters: Some libraries may not support plotting multiple lines in the same figure or may require additional configuration options.
- Data Format Issues
: The data format may not be compatible with the requirements of the plotting library.
Workaround
To solve this problem, we can try the following workaround:
- Use another plotting library: We can switch to a library like Seaborn or Plotly that supports multiple lines in a single chart.
- Increase the number of data points: If possible, we can increase the number of samples or time intervals to provide more data for plotting.
- Check plotting options: We need to review our plotting settings and make sure they are correct to support multiple lines on the same figure.
Conclusion
Plotting multiple lines in a single chart with Ethereum data is not supported by default. However, we can work around this by using another library or adjusting our plotting settings. If you encounter similar issues, feel free to share your code or data for further analysis!
