Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier. Pandas DataFrame.plot.bar() plots the graph vertically in form of rectangular bars.
Syntax : DataFrame.plot.bar(x=None, y=None, **kwds) Parameters: x : (label or position, optional) Allows plotting of one column versus another. If not specified, the index of the DataFrame is used. y : (label or position, optional) Allows plotting of one column versus another. If not specified, all numerical columns are used. **kwds : Additional keyword arguments Returns: matplotlib.axes.Axes or np.ndarray of them
Example #1: Using DataFrame.plot.bar() to plot the graph vertically in form of rectangular bars Python3 1==
# importing matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# importing numpy as np
import numpy as np

# creating a dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10, 3), columns =['a', 'b', 'c'])

print(df)
Now we will use a function DataFrame.plot.bar() to plot a graph vertically in form of rectangular bars Python3
# using a function df.plot.bar()
df.plot.bar()
Output: plot.bar1()   Example #2: Using DataFrame.plot.bar() to plot the graph vertically in form of rectangular bars. Python3 1==
# importing matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# importing numpy as np
import numpy as np

# creating a dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10, 10),
                  columns =['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'])

df
Now we will use a function DataFrame.plot.bar() to plot a graph vertically in form of rectangular bars Python3
# using a function df.plot.bar()
df.plot.bar()
Output :
