bar chart using matplotlib code example

Example 1: how to plot a bar using matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
  
   
# creating the dataset 
data = {'C':20, 'C++':15, 'Java':30,  
        'Python':35} 
courses = list(data.keys()) 
values = list(data.values()) 
   

fig = plt.figure(figsize = (5, 5)) 
  
# creating the bar plot 
plt.bar(courses, values, color ='green',  
        width = 0.4) 
  
plt.xlabel("Courses offered") 
plt.ylabel("No. of students enrolled") 
plt.title("Students enrolled in different courses") 
plt.show()

Example 2: matplotlib bar chart

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create a Simple Bar Plot of Three People's Ages

# Create a List of Labels for x-axis
names = ["Brad", "Bill", "Bob"]

# Create a List of Values (Same Length as Names List)
ages = [9, 5, 10]

# Make the Chart
plt.bar(names, ages)

# Show the Chart
plt.show()

Example 3: how to increase bar width in python matplogtlib

#plt stands for matplotlib.pyplot
#simple way to increase width of a bar in a bar graph
#I will eventually write out another solution for increasing width bars.
#This solution with solve a more complexed problem for increasing width bars in a bar graph.


plt.bar(x, y, width=30)
