CS3352-FOUNDATIONS OF DATA SCIENCE

UNIT V
PART-A
1. What is Matplotlib?

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a

variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms.

2. How do you install Matplotlib on a Windows system?

You can install Matplotlib on a Windows system by following the instructions here:
https://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html#windows.

3. What are some of the features provided by Matplotlib?

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a

variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be
used in Python scripts, the Python and IPython shell, web application servers, and six
graphical user interface toolkits.

4. Can you explain how to create and display a simple plot using matplotlib?

Sure. To create a plot using matplotlib, you will first need to import the matplotlib library.
Once you have imported matplotlib, you can use the plot() function to create a plot. The
plot() function takes two arguments: the data to be plotted, and the type of plot. For example,
to create a line plot, you would use plot(x, y, ‘-‘) where x and y are lists of data points. To
display the plot, you would use the show() function.

5. What is pylab in context with Matplotlib?

Pylab is a module that belongs to the Matplotlib library. It is used for creating two-
dimensional plots and graphs.

6. What is the difference between pyplot and pylab?

Pyplot is a module in matplotlib that provides a set of functions for creating and manipulating
plots. Pylab is a module that combines pyplot with numpy, providing a set of tools for
numerical calculations and plotting.

7. Why does PyLab use a stateful interface instead of an object-oriented

approach?

PyLab is designed to be a simple, concise interface to the powerful Matplotlib library. The
stateful interface is designed to make it easy to use Matplotlib without having to create a lot
of extra code or objects.

8. What’s the best way to draw multiple lines in a single figure?

The best way to draw multiple lines in a single figure is to use the plot() function. This
function can take multiple arguments, each of which will be plotted as a separate line. For
example, to plot two lines, you would use the following code:

plot(x1, y1, x2, y2)

9. What is the simplest way to add text annotations and labels to plots in
Python?

The simplest way to add text annotations and labels to plots in Python is to use the
matplotlib.pyplot.text() function. This function allows you to add text at any location on the
plot, and also allows you to specify the font size, style, and color of the text.

10. What is the significance of the “hold” command in Matplotlib?

The “hold” command is used to tell Matplotlib to keep all of the current plot elements on the
screen when adding new ones. This can be useful when you want to add multiple elements to
a plot and have them all appear at the same time. Without the “hold” command, each new
plot element would overwrite the previous one.

11. Is it possible to modify the tick label size for all plots in Matplotlib? If yes,
then how?

Yes, it is possible to modify the tick label size for all plots in Matplotlib. This can be done by
using the rcParams command.

12. Can you provide me examples of when a scatter graph would be more
appropriate than a line chart or vice versa?

A scatter graph would be more appropriate than a line chart when you are looking to show
the relationship between two variables that are not linearly related. For example, if you were
looking to show the relationship between a person’s age and their weight, a scatter graph
would be more appropriate than a line chart. A line chart would be more appropriate than a
scatter graph when you are looking to show a trend over time. For example, if you were
looking at the monthly sales of a company over the course of a year, a line chart would be
more appropriate than a scatter graph.

13. What is the best way to generate histograms in Matplotlib?

One way to generate histograms in Matplotlib is to use the pyplot.hist() function. This
function takes in an array of data and generates a histogram from it.

14. What is the usage of subplots in Matplotlib?

Subplots are used to plot multiple figures on one figure. This can be used to compare data
side by side or to show multiple views of the same data.

15. Why do we need customizing axes?

There are a few reasons why we might want to customize our axes. One reason is to make the
plot more readable or understandable. For example, if we are plotting data that spans a large
range, we might want to use a logarithmic scale to compress the data and make it easier to
interpret. Another reason to customize our axes is for aesthetic reasons. We might want to
change the color, line width, or tick marks to make our plot more visually appealing.

16. What is the purpose of using twinx() in Matplotlib?

The twinx() function in Matplotlib is used to create a second axes that shares the same x-axis
as the original axes. This is often used when you want to plot two different data sets on the
same plot, but with different y-axes.

17. What is your opinion about Matplotlib being a part of SciPy stack?

I believe that Matplotlib is a valuable part of the SciPy stack because it provides a powerful
and flexible platform for creating visualizations of data. It is also easy to use, which makes it
accessible to a wide range of users.

18. Where can I find good documentation for Matplotlib?

The Matplotlib website (matplotlib.org) has a comprehensive documentation section that

covers all aspects of the library in detail. The site also includes a number of examples that
show how to use Matplotlib in various ways. In addition, there are a number of books and
online tutorials that can be helpful in learning how to use Matplotlib.

19. What are some alternatives to Matplotlib?

Some alternatives to Matplotlib are Bokeh, Seaborn, and Plotly.

20. What are the various ways to handle exceptions while plotting graphs in
Matplotlib?

There are a few different ways to handle exceptions while plotting graphs in Matplotlib. One
way is to use a try/except block around your code. Another way is to use the Matplotlib built-
in function plt.errorbar(). This function will automatically plot error bars on your graph.

PART-B
1. Write python program to visualize the dataset using scatterplot and explain its
parameters.
2. Eloborate the error visualization metods in pyplot.
3. Explain different methods of showing 3D surface ib a 2D plane with example.
4. Demonstrate the usage of histograms for data exploration and explain its attributes.
5. Elaborate the concept of subplots and its applications.
6. Discuss in detail about the 3D plotting functions of matplotlib module.
7. Explain in detail about the functions of mpl_tool kit for Geographic data
visualization.
