Answer 1

I have run into this problem when trying to replicate a line on two different plots. (mentioned in a comment "cannot put single artist in more than one figure) So assuming you already have a Line2D object from some other source and need it on new plot, the best way to add it to your plot is with:

# the variable, 'line', is assumed to be a Line2D object.
plt.plot(*line.get_data(), ...)

You can also get a lot of the line's properties from its other "get" methods, found here.
