Matplotlib is a Python library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations. The most common interface is matplotlib.pyplot, which provides MATLAB-like plotting functions.
Example – Simple Line Plot:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt# Datax = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]y = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]# Create plotplt.plot(x, y, marker='o', color='blue', linestyle='--', label='y = 2x')# Add labels and titleplt.xlabel('X-axis')plt.ylabel('Y-axis')plt.title('Simple Line Plot')plt.legend()# Show plotplt.show()Copied!âś•CopyThis code creates a line plot with markers, labels, a title, and a legend. The plt.plot() function is the core method for drawing lines in Matplotlib.
Other Common Plot Types:
Bar Chart:
plt.bar(['A', 'B', 'C'], [5, 7, 3], color='orange')plt.title('Bar Chart Example')plt.show()Copied!âś•CopyScatter Plot:
plt.scatter([5, 7, 8], [7, 8, 5], color='red')plt.title('Scatter Plot Example')plt.show()Copied!âś•CopyHistogram:
