4h - Plotting Without Data Using Python Modules

The document discusses plotting in Python without using actual data, utilizing modules like Pyplot and Numpy for creating various types of graphs such as line graphs, histograms, bar graphs, scatter plots, and 3D plots. It includes activities and solutions for plotting different equations and data visualizations. Additionally, it mentions the capability of creating animated plots for demonstration purposes, along with an exercise for users to create a program that plots accumulated future values based on user input.

PLOTTING WITHOUT DATA

USING PYTHON MODULES

© H. Chiname 2021. Version 03


INTRODUCTION
 So far we have only plotted with data.
 As already mentioned in the previous lecture, it is possible to
plot without data.
 The plots will be the result of different types of formulae and
equations.
 To do this, we take advantage of the capabilities of different
modules, mostly pyplot and numpy.
 The two modules are complementary to each other in that:
 while Numpy is good at manipulating data, formulas, and
equations;
 Pyplot takes care of the plotting part.

PLOTTING WITHOUT DATA
 Forour purposes we will plot:
Line graphs;
Histograms;
Bar graphs;
Scatterplots; and
3-dimensional plots.

OTHER PLOTTING CAPABILITIES PYTHON MODULES

 Infact, these Python modules (Matplotlib


and Pyplot) are capable of creating
animated plots, some of which may be
demonstrated in class.
 These animated plots are purely for
demonstration purposes and are not
examinable in this course.

EXERCISES

© H. Chiname 2021. Version 03


EXERCISE 1
 Create code for a program that plots a graph
showing the accumulated future values by
year, depending on the data fed into the
program by the user.
 The program should ask the user to input the
following values:
 The present value;
 The interest rate; and
 the number of years.
