1.

Simple Line Plot using Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [1, 2, 3, 4]

y = [2, 4, 1, 3]

plt.plot(x, y)

plt.title("Simple Line Plot")

plt.xlabel("X-axis")

plt.ylabel("Y-axis")

plt.grid(True)

plt.show()

2. Plotting a DataFrame using Pandas

import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'Month': ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], 'Sales': [100, 120, 90, 110]}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

df.plot(x='Month', y='Sales', kind='line', marker='o', title='Monthly Sales')

plt.ylabel("Sales")

plt.grid(True)

plt.show()

3. Customizing Plot Colors, Line Style, and Markers

plt.plot(x, y, color='green', linestyle='--', marker='s') # dashed green line with square markers
plt.title("Customized Line Plot")

plt.show()

4. Bar Chart in Python using Matplotlib

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

values = [5, 7, 3]

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

plt.title("Bar Chart Example")

plt.ylabel("Value")

plt.show()

5. Scatter Plot using Seaborn

import seaborn as sns

tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")

sns.scatterplot(data=tips, x="total_bill", y="tip")

plt.title("Bill vs Tip")

plt.show()

6. Creating Subplots in Matplotlib

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2) # 1 row, 2 columns

axs[0].plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])

axs[0].set_title("Plot 1")

axs[1].bar(['A', 'B', 'C'], [5, 7, 6])


axs[1].set_title("Plot 2")

plt.tight_layout()

plt.show()

7. Histogram to Show Data Distribution

import numpy as np

data = np.random.randn(1000)

plt.hist(data, bins=20, color='purple')

plt.title("Histogram")

plt.xlabel("Value")

plt.ylabel("Frequency")

plt.show()

8. Boxplot using Seaborn

sns.boxplot(data=tips, x="day", y="total_bill")

plt.title("Boxplot of Total Bills by Day")

plt.show()

9. Correlation Heatmap using Seaborn

corr = tips.corr(numeric_only=True)

sns.heatmap(corr, annot=True, cmap="coolwarm")

plt.title("Correlation Heatmap")

plt.show()

10. Saving a Plot as an Image


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

plt.savefig("my_plot.png") # Saves the current plot as a PNG file
