How Can I Plot Multiple Alpha Values in Cosmology Using Python?

In summary, the conversation discusses a code that solves the Friedmann equation with quintessence using a scalar field potential. The code includes initial values, a time evolution loop, and plots. The person is seeking advice on how to plot different values of the free parameter, alpha, in the same plot with annotations. A link to a useful resource is also provided.

Hello!
I've been working on a code that solves the Friedmann equation with quintessence using a scalar field potential of the form x^(-alpha) where alpha is a free parameter. I would like to plot different values of alpha in the same plot with annotations for each. For now, my code has initial values, then a time evolution loop for the differential equations and then the plots. How do I do this? I'd prefer getting answers without me having to paste the code.
Thanks!

Hello, you should check the packages matplotlib, or pylab if you are familiarize with matlab. They have several options to make what you are asking for.
Here is a link that could be useful: http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html
