Example of a line Chart


Years= [0,1,2,3,4,5] # Years of Experience

Mumbai_Salary=[5,6.4,7.2,8.5,10,13.7] # Salary for Engineers in Mumbai

Bangalore_Salary=[3,4,5.2,6.5,9,11.7] # Salary for Engineers in Bengaluru

plt.plot (Mumbai_Salary)

plt.xlabel("X-Axis- Experience (in Years)") # Adds an X-Label


plt.ylabel("Y-Axis- Salary growth (in Lakhs)") # Adds a Y-Label
plt.title("Years Vs Salary graph") # Adds a title
plt.show() # Displays the graph
Legend of a Graph
plt.plot(Years,Mumbai_Salary,label='Mumbai Salary')

plt.xlabel("X-Axis- Experience (in Years)") # Adds an X-Label


plt.ylabel("Y-Axis- Salary growth (in Lakhs)") # Adds a Y-Label
plt.title("Years Vs Salary graph") # Adds a title

plt.grid() # Adds a grid


plt.legend() # Adds a Legend
plt.show() # Displays the graph

# To change the Location of the chart use "Loc="

# 'best' 0, 'upper right' 1


# 'upper Left' 2, 'Lower Left' 3

# 'Lower right' 4, 'right' 5


# 'center left' 6, 'center right' 7
# 'Lower center' 8, 'upper center' 9
# 'center' 10

Multiple line Chart


plt.plot(Years, Mumbai_Salary, label='Mumbai Salary')
plt.plot(Years, Bangalore_Salary,label='Bangalore Salary')

plt.xlabel("X-Axis- Experience (in Years)") # Adds an X-Label


plt.ylabel("Y-Axis- Salary growth (in Lakhs)") # Adds a Y-Label
plt.title("Years Vs Salary graph") # Adds a title
plt.grid() # Adds a grid
plt.legend() # Adds a Legend
plt.show() # Displays the graph

Formating and Saving a Line Chart


plt.plot(Years, Mumbai_Salary, color="#ff8000",marker='8',linestyle='--',label='Mumbai Salary')

plt.plot(Years, Bangalore_Salary, color="#0000e6",marker='s',linestyle='-.',label='Bangalore Salary')

plt.xlabel("X-Axis- Experience (in Years)") # Adds an X-Label


plt.ylabel("Y-Axis- Salary growth (in Lakhs)") # Adds a Y-Label
plt.title("Years Vs Salary graph") # Adds a title

plt.grid() # Adds a grid


plt.legend() # Adds a Legend
