md`## Put it all together
Now put the two charts side-by-side. I suggest that you output the code from each chart into a variable and then combine those in a new chart. (Note that the combined legend doesn't look right in the line chart; there is probably a way to fix this, but I haven't figured it out. I also haven't found a way to make a colored background for the title of the chart.)

One platform to build and deploy the best data apps
Experiment and prototype by building visualizations in live JavaScript notebooks. Collaborate with your team and decide which concepts to build out.
Use Observable Framework to build data apps locally. Use data loaders to build in any language or library, including Python, SQL, and R.
Seamlessly deploy to Observable. Test before you ship, use automatic deploy-on-commit, and ensure your projects are always up-to-date.
