Matplotlib with Pandas: 12

Visualization Examples
1. Line Plot - Stock Price Trend
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create sample data


dates = pd.date_range(start='2023-01-01', end='2023-12-31', freq='M')
stock_prices = [100, 112, 108, 115, 135, 142, 138, 145, 152, 147, 158, 165]
df = pd.DataFrame({'Date': dates, 'Price': stock_prices})

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(df['Date'], df['Price'], marker='o')
plt.title('Stock Price Trend 2023')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Price ($)')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

2. Bar Chart - Monthly Sales


# Sample sales data
months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May']
sales = [12500, 14800, 13900, 15200, 16400]
df = pd.DataFrame({'Month': months, 'Sales': sales})

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
df.plot(kind='bar', x='Month', y='Sales')

plt.ylabel('Sales ($)')
plt.show()
3. Scatter Plot - Height vs Weight
# Generate sample data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 50
height = np.random.normal(170, 10, n)
weight = height * 0.7 + np.random.normal(0, 5, n)
df = pd.DataFrame({'Height': height, 'Weight': weight})

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
plt.scatter(df['Height'], df['Weight'])
plt.title('Height vs Weight Correlation')
plt.xlabel('Height (cm)')
plt.ylabel('Weight (kg)')
plt.show()

4. Histogram - Age Distribution


# Generate age data
ages = np.random.normal(35, 10, 1000)
df = pd.DataFrame({'Age': ages})

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
df['Age'].hist(bins=30, edgecolor='black')
plt.title('Age Distribution')
plt.xlabel('Age')
plt.ylabel('Frequency')
plt.show()

5. Box Plot - Product Price Distribution


# Sample data for different products
products = {
'Product A': np.random.normal(100, 15, 50),
'Product B': np.random.normal(85, 12, 50),
'Product C': np.random.normal(120, 20, 50)
}
df = pd.DataFrame(products)

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
df.boxplot()
plt.title('Product Price Distribution')
plt.ylabel('Price ($)')
plt.show()

6. Pie Chart - Market Share


companies = ['Company A', 'Company B', 'Company C', 'Company D']
market_share = [35, 25, 22, 18]
df = pd.DataFrame({'Company': companies, 'Share': market_share})

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.pie(df['Share'], labels=df['Company'], autopct='%1.1f%%')
plt.title('Market Share Distribution')
plt.show()

7. Area Plot - Revenue Streams


dates = pd.date_range('2023-01-01', periods=12, freq='M')
data = {
'Product': np.random.uniform(50, 100, 12),
'Services': np.random.uniform(30, 70, 12),
'Consulting': np.random.uniform(20, 50, 12)
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=dates)

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
df.plot(kind='area', stacked=True)
plt.title('Revenue Streams Over Time')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Revenue ($K)')
plt.show()

8. Multiple Line Plot - Temperature

'City B': np.random.uniform(10, 25, 12),
'City C': np.random.uniform(20, 35, 12)

}
df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=pd.date_range('2023-01-01', periods=12, freq='M'))

fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=(10, 8))

# Plot 1: Sales Line Plot


df['Sales'].plot(ax=ax1, marker='o')
ax1.set_title('Monthly Sales')
ax1.set_ylabel('Sales ($)')
ax1.grid(True)

# Plot 2: Profit Bar Plot

ax2.set_title('Monthly Profit')
ax2.set_ylabel('Profit ($)')

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
11. Heatmap - Correlation Matrix
# Generate correlated data
np.random.seed(42)
n = 100
data = {
'A': np.random.normal(0, 1, n),
'B': np.random.normal(0, 1, n),
'C': np.random.normal(0, 1, n),
'D': np.random.normal(0, 1, n)
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
correlation = df.corr()

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
plt.imshow(correlation, cmap='coolwarm', aspect='auto')
plt.colorbar()
plt.xticks(range(len(correlation.columns)), correlation.columns)
plt.yticks(range(len(correlation.columns)), correlation.columns)
plt.title('Correlation Heatmap')
plt.show()

12. Time Series Decomposition


# Generate time series data
dates = pd.date_range('2023-01-01', periods=365, freq='D')
ts = pd.Series(np.random.normal(100, 10, 365) + \
np.sin(np.linspace(0, 4*np.pi, 365)) * 20, index=dates)

# Plot components
fig, (ax1, ax2, ax3) = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(12, 10))

# Original
ts.plot(ax=ax1)
ax1.set_title('Original Time Series')

# 7-day rolling mean


ts.rolling(window=7).mean().plot(ax=ax2)
ax2.set_title('7-Day Rolling Mean')

# 30-day rolling mean


ts.rolling(window=30).mean().plot(ax=ax3)
ax3.set_title('30-Day Rolling Mean')

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
