Multiple Series Line Chart
--------------------------

This example shows how to make a line chart with multiple series of data.


.. altair-plot::
    :remove-code:
    


    import altair as alt
    from vega_datasets import data

    source = data.stocks()

    alt.Chart(source).mark_line().encode(
        x='date:T',
        y='price:Q',
        color='symbol:N',
    )
    # No channel encoding options are specified in this chart
    # so the code is the same as for the method-based syntax.


.. tab-set::

    .. tab-item:: Method syntax
        :sync: method

        .. code:: python


            import altair as alt
            from vega_datasets import data

            source = data.stocks()

            alt.Chart(source).mark_line().encode(
                x='date:T',
                y='price:Q',
                color='symbol:N',
            )


    .. tab-item:: Attribute syntax
        :sync: attribute

        .. code:: python


            import altair as alt
            from vega_datasets import data
