matplotlib opacity code example

Example 1: python change plot transparency

# Basic syntax:
plt.plot(data, alpha=0.5)

# Note, the alpha parameter goes from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 
# 	(fully solid). It is especially useful when plotting overlapping
# 	histograms.

Example 2: matplotlib transparent line

plt.plot(x, y, 'r-', alpha=0.7)
