[FIXED] plot pandas dataframe two columns

Issue

i have a pandas dataframe which has dates as indexes and some columns: I would like to plot a line chart with 2 lines (let's say 'ISP.MI' and 'Ctrv'); on the x axis I need the 'Date'

Ticker       ISP.MI  Daily returns        Ctrv  Inv_Am  Giac_Media
Date                                                                 
2016-01-01  2.90117            NaN  100.000000     100       100.0   
2016-01-04  2.80159      -0.034927  196.507301     200       150.0

2016-01-07  2.73206      -0.017050  485.396411     500       300.0

Solution

if you dont care about axis scale:

plt.figure()

x = df['Date']
y1 = df['ISP.MI']
y2 = df['Ctrv']

plt.plot(x,y1)
plt.plot(x,y2)

if you do care about it:

fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()

x = df['Date']
y1 = df['ISP.MI']
y2 = df['Ctrv']

ax2 = ax1.twinx()

ax1.plot(x, y1, 'g-')
ax2.plot(x, y2, 'b-')
