Matplotlib Guide with Code and Explanations

Basic Line Plot

This is a simple line plot showing y values against x.

# Basic Line Plot

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

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

y = [10, 12, 5, 8, 7]

plt.plot(x, y)

plt.title('Simple Line Plot')

plt.xlabel('X-axis')

plt.ylabel('Y-axis')

plt.grid(True)

plt.show()

Bar Plot

Bar plots are used to represent categorical data with rectangular bars.

# Bar Plot

x = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

y = [10, 15, 7, 12]

plt.bar(x, y, color='skyblue')

plt.title('Bar Chart')

plt.show()

Scatter Plot

Scatter plots show the relationship between two variables.

# Scatter Plot

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

y = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]

plt.scatter(x, y, color='red')

plt.title('Scatter Plot')
Matplotlib Guide with Code and Explanations

plt.show()

Histogram

Histograms are used to represent the distribution of a dataset.

# Histogram

import numpy as np

data = np.random.randn(1000)

plt.hist(data, bins=30, color='purple')

plt.title('Histogram')

plt.show()

Pie Chart

Pie charts show percentages of a whole.

# Pie Chart

labels = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

sizes = [25, 35, 20, 20]

plt.pie(sizes, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', startangle=90)

plt.axis('equal')

plt.title('Pie Chart')

plt.show()

Subplots

Use subplots to create multiple plots in a single figure.

# Subplots

fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)

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

y = [10, 12, 5, 8, 7]

axs[0, 0].plot(x, y)

axs[0, 1].bar(x, y)

axs[1, 0].scatter(x, y)
Matplotlib Guide with Code and Explanations

axs[1, 1].hist(np.random.randn(100), bins=20)

plt.tight_layout()

plt.show()

Object-Oriented Interface

This is a more flexible way to build plots using Axes and Figure objects.

# OO Interface

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot(x, y)

ax.set_title('Using OO Interface')

ax.set_xlabel('X')

ax.set_ylabel('Y')

plt.show()
