matplotlib.pyplot.plot example

Example 1: how to plot a graph using matplotlib

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25])
plt.show()

Example 2: matplotlib plot

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(1)	#identifies the figure 
plt.title("Y vs X", fontsize='16')	#title
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [6,2,8,4])	#plot the points
plt.xlabel("X",fontsize='13')	#adds a label in the x axis
plt.ylabel("Y",fontsize='13')	#adds a label in the y axis
plt.legend(('YvsX'),loc='best')	#creates a legend to identify the plot
plt.savefig('Y_X.png')	#saves the figure in the present directory
plt.grid()	#shows a grid under the plot
plt.show()

Example 3: how to plotting points on matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np

data = np.random.rand(1024,2)
plt.scatter(data[:,0],data[:,1])
plt.show()
// Don't be
// fooled by this simplicity— plt.scatter() is a rich command.

Example 4: matplotlib.pyplot

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(0, 5, 0.1);
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x, y)
