Matplotlib: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction
Matplotlib is a popular Python library for data visualization. It offers a variety of plots to visualize data

effectively and works seamlessly with libraries like NumPy and Pandas.

Installation
To install Matplotlib, use the following command:

pip install matplotlib

Basic Structure
To create a plot, you generally follow these steps:

1. Import the library:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

2. Create a plot:

plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])

plt.show()

Common Plot Types

Line Plot
Used to visualize trends over time.

Example:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4]

y = [10, 15, 20, 25]

plt.plot(x, y, label='Growth', color='blue', linestyle='--')

plt.xlabel('Time')

plt.ylabel('Value')
plt.title('Line Plot Example')

plt.legend()

plt.show()

Bar Plot
Used for categorical data comparison.

categories = ['A', 'B', 'C']

values = [10, 15, 7]

plt.bar(categories, values, color='orange')

plt.title('Bar Plot')

plt.show()

Scatter Plot
Used for finding relationships between variables.

x = [1, 2, 3, 4]

y = [10, 14, 15, 18]

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

plt.title('Scatter Plot')

plt.show()

Pie Chart
Used for displaying proportions.

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

sizes = [20, 30, 50]

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

plt.title('Pie Chart')

plt.show()
Matplotlib Examples with Outputs
Line Plot Example
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]

y = [10, 15, 20, 25]

plt.plot(x, y, label='Growth', color='blue')

plt.xlabel('Time')

plt.ylabel('Value')

plt.title('Line Plot')

plt.legend()

plt.show()

Output: A line connecting the points (1, 10), (2, 15), (3, 20), (4, 25).

Bar Plot Example


categories = ['A', 'B', 'C']

values = [10, 15, 7]

plt.bar(categories, values, color='orange')

plt.title('Bar Plot')

plt.show()

Output: Three bars labeled A, B, C with heights 10, 15, 7 respectively.

Scatter Plot Example


x = [1, 2, 3, 4]

y = [10, 14, 15, 18]

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

plt.title('Scatter Plot')

plt.show()

Output: Red points at coordinates (1, 10), (2, 14), (3, 15), (4, 18).
Pie Chart Example
labels = ['A', 'B', 'C']

sizes = [20, 30, 50]

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

plt.title('Pie Chart')

plt.show()

Output: A pie chart with three segments labeled A (20%), B (30%), C (50%).
