Python has an amazing graph plotting library called matplotlib. It is the most popular graphing and data visualization module for Python. You can start plotting graphs using 3 lines! For example,
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt # Plot to canvas plt.plot([1,2,3],[4,5,1]) #Showing what we plotted plt.show()
This will create a simple graph with coordinates (1,4), (2,5) and (3,1). You can Assign labels to the axes using the xlabel and ylabel functions. For example,
plt.ylabel('Y axis')
plt.xlabel('X axis')
And also provide a title using the title function −
plt.title('My Graph')
Remember to call these before the show() call as it will render these only if called before show. You can also style these graphs by providing arguments like linewidth=2 to the plt.plot function. You can also use the legend() function to create a legend:
plt.legend()
There are many types of charts like bar graph, scatterplots, pie chart, etc. available. You can learn more about these on https://pythonprogramming.net/matplotlib-python-3-basics-tutorial/
