1 A Brief matplotlib API Primer


What is Matplotlib?
 Matplotlib is a Python library used for data visualization
 It helps create line plots, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, etc.
 Commonly used with NumPy and Pandas

2. Figures and Subplots

3. Adjusting the spacing around subplots

Figure 9-5. Data visualization with no inter-subplot spacing

4. Colors, Markers, and Line Styles


Figure 9-6. Line plot with markers

What it shows
 color='red' → line color
 linestyle='--' → dashed line
 marker='o' → circle markers

5. Ticks, Labels, and Legends


1. Ticks
Ticks are the small marks on X-axis and Y-axis that show scale values.
They help us understand where data points lie on the graph.
By default, Matplotlib sets ticks automatically, but we can customize them.

2. Labels
Labels describe what the axes and the graph represent.
They include:
 xlabel → name of X-axis
 ylabel → name of Y-axis
 title → heading of the graph
3. Legends
A legend identifies different lines or data sets in a graph.
It is useful when multiple plots are drawn on the same figure.
