Grapher multiple columns plot

[adamerose]

^{Originally posted by gemGreg January 31, 2022} In the old version of PandasGUI there was a way to plot multiple signals on one line plot. Is there a way to do it in the newest version of PandasGUI? It seems like In the newest version you can drag/drop only one signal to X and Y:

Yep I have the same problem on version 0.2.13. Seems like an important feature to be able to plot multiple columns in the same plot.

do we have any update on when this issue could be fixed?

One workaround available now is to use custom kwargs to override y with an array of columns. It isn't as easy perhaps but doable. So in @adamerose 's case, add y with a value of ['Australia New Cases', 'Brunei New Cases', ...].

Below is what I think a better workaround until this gets fixed. My use case for PandasGUI is almost exclusively comparing and analyzing time series data. Being able to plot multiple columns is a "must have" feature, at least for line and scatter plot types. I was already making some changes to read couple more file formats, and made the below changes for the line and scatter plot types to get that feature back.

file -> jotly.py functions -> line and scatter original argument-> y: ColumnName = None, changed argument -> y: ColumnNameList= None,

Essentially, it changes the class of argument y from ColumnName to ColumnNameList

Edit: It may work for other plots types too but I didn't test.
