 WHAT IS
MATPLOTLIB
Matplotlib is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its numerical mathematics
extension NumPy.

WHY MATPLOTLIB
Matplotlib makes easy things easy and hard things possible. Create publication quality plots. Make
interactive figures that can zoom, pan, update
 Istallation&importing matplotlib

we can install
we can use it simply
matplotlib
by using a command
inside anaconda
called
"pip install
environment
matplotlib"

We can import matplotlib by

saying "import
matplotlib.pyplot as plt"

plt. plot()
The basic syntax for creating line
plots is plt. plot(x,y), where x and y are
arrays of the same length that specify
the (x, y) pairs that form the line

marker & size

we can use different types
of markers to the points
ex:marker ='o'

marker size hepls to show

different sizes of points based
on the data ex:ms=10
marker edge marker face color
colour colour attribute

we can also change the we can also change the if we want to change the
marker edge colour using marker colour using entire colour we use
mec(marker edge color) mfc(marker face colour) 'color'attribute

line style

by default the line style is

solid , to change the line style
we use an argument called
as 'ls' (line style)

ex:linewidth='5.6
 LABLES&
TITLESlables labl
e
lables play a imp role in graph
we add l a b l e s for better understanding of
graph

p lt. xlab le (" X - A xis ")

p lt. ylab le (" Y - A xis ")

we get a graph with labled axis

graphs
 With pyplot we c an use the func tion to draw
the bar graph which are used to represent 20
c ategoral variables
ex:
x=np.array(["A","B","C "])
y=np.array([6,3,9]) 1
plt.bar(x,y) 5
the output will be a bar graph
 if we need a horizontal graph

ex: plt.barh(x,y) 10

 we can also change the color, width&also the

design of the graph

ex:
x=np.array(["A","B","
C"])
y=np.array([6,3,9])

plt.bar(x,y,color='green',width=0.4) Item Item Item Item 4 Item
bars[0].sethatch('/') 1 2 3 5
bars[1].sethatch('o')
bars[2].sethatch('*')
 SCATER
PLOTS
 To draw scatter plots we use scatterplot function this scatter plot plots one dot for each

observation.

x=np.array([4,8,11,9,10,6])
y= np.array([99,111,87,94,88,33])
plt.scatter(x,y) plt.show()

 We can add two scatterplot functions &we can plot different colour points on graph.

 The output will be a graph with two different coloured points on graph

 By default the colours will be blue & orange we can also change the colour for each scatter

plot by passing it as a argument

plt.scatter(x,y,color="red")
 We can also set different colours for each dot by using an array of colors we can also set

different sizes for each dot by using array of size

 Histrogram
s  It is a graph that show s frequenc y distribution
 It is a graph show ing number of observations w ithin eac h
given interval c reating a random values

ex: x=np.random.normal(170,10,250)
( c reating a random values)
print(x)
output: this will generate 250 values around 170 with a
standard deviation of 10
 To draw the histogram for the data
ex: x=np.random.normal(170,10,250)
plt.hist(
x)
plt.show
()
output: It creates an histogram,hist function is used to
create a histogram, the array is sent inside the hist function
