What is Matplotlib?

Matplotlib is a Python library used for data visualization.

It helps us to create graphs such as line, Scatter, Bar, Histogram, pie etc.

Example:

Data:

Year Sales

2020 100

2021 150

2022 200

We can show them in a graph, which is easier to understand.

Installing Matplotlib

pip install matplotlib

Import library

import [Link] as plt

pyplot is the module used to create graphs.

First Simple Plot

program:

import [Link] as plt

x = [1,2,3,4]

y = [10,20,25,30]

[Link](x,y)

[Link]()

Explain:

Part Meaning

x x-axis values
Part Meaning

y y-axis values

plot() create graph

show() display graph

Graph shows a line chart.

Adding Title and Labels

Graphs should always have labels.

import [Link] as plt

x = [1,2,3,4]

y = [10,20,25,30]

[Link](x,y)

[Link]("Sales Graph")

[Link]("Year")

[Link]("Sales")

[Link]()

Explain:

Function Purpose

title() graph title

xlabel() x-axis label

ylabel() y-axis label

Adding Grid

Grid helps to read values clearly.

[Link]()

Example:
[Link](x,y)

[Link]()

[Link]()

Changing Line Style

Students can customize the graph.

Example:

[Link](x,y, linestyle="--")

Other styles:

Style Meaning

"-" solid

"--" dashed

":" dotted

Changing Marker

Markers show each data point.

[Link](x,y, marker="o")

Example markers:

Marker Shape

o circle

s square

^ triangle

* star

Multiple Lines in One Graph

Example:

x = [1,2,3,4]

y1 = [10,20,30,40]

x2 = [3,5,7,9]
y2 = [5,15,25,35]

[Link](x,y1)

[Link](x,y2)

[Link]()

This shows two lines in one graph.

Legend

Legend tells which line represents which data.

[Link](x,y1,label="Product A")

[Link](x,y2,label="Product B")

[Link]()

[Link]()

Bar Chart

Bar charts are used for comparison.

Example:

import [Link] as plt

students = ["A","B","C","D"]

marks = [80,70,90,60]

[Link](students,marks)

[Link]()

Graph shows marks of students.


Horizontal Bar Chart

[Link](students,marks)

Pie Chart

Used to show percentage distribution.

Example:

import [Link] as plt

data = [40,30,20,10]

labels = ["Python","Java","C","C++"]

[Link](data, labels=labels)

[Link]()

Histogram

Histogram shows data distribution.

Example:

import [Link] as plt

marks = [50,60,70,80,90,60,70,80]

[Link](marks)

[Link]()

Useful for:

 exam marks

 age distribution

 income distribution

Scatter Plot
Used to show relationship between two variables.

Example:

import [Link] as plt

x = [1,2,3,4,5]

y = [2,4,5,4,5]

[Link](x,y)

[Link]()

Example use:

 study hours vs marks

 height vs weight

Subplots (Multiple Graphs)

Example:

import [Link] as plt

x = [1,2,3]

y1 = [2,4,6]

y2 = [1,3,5]

[Link](1,2,1)

[Link](x,y1)

[Link](1,2,2)

[Link](x,y2)

[Link]()

Meaning:
Parameter Meaning

1 rows

2 columns

1/2 graph number

Saving Graph

Students can save graphs as image.
