plot format python code example

Example 1: python 2d graph

names = ['group_a', 'group_b', 'group_c']
values = [1, 10, 100]

plt.figure(figsize=(9, 3))

plt.subplot(131)
plt.bar(names, values)
plt.subplot(132)
plt.scatter(names, values)
plt.subplot(133)
plt.plot(names, values)
plt.suptitle('Categorical Plotting')
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: plot in python

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_axes((0.1,0.4,0.5,0.5))

ax1.set_title('Title of Plot')
ax1.set_xlabel('X')
ax1.set_ylabel('Y')

ax1.plot(X,Y,c='black',linestyle='--',linewidth=0.5)
ax1.scatter(X,Y,c='red',s=0.5)
ax1.legend(['Line','Scatter'])

ax1.xaxis.set_ticks([0.0,0.1,0.2,0.3])
ax1.yaxis.set_ticks([0.0,0.1,0.2,0.3])

ax1.grid(which='major')
ax1.tick_params(direction='in')

txt = 'Write something on the graph page\
		\n over one or more lines.'

fig.text(0.5,0.05,txt,ha='center')

fig.savefig('Figure.pdf')

Example 4: matplotlib plot

>>> rng = np.arange(50)
>>> rnd = np.random.randint(0, 10, size=(3, rng.size))
>>> yrs = 1950 + rng

>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(5, 3))
>>> ax.stackplot(yrs, rng + rnd, labels=['Eastasia', 'Eurasia', 'Oceania'])
>>> ax.set_title('Combined debt growth over time')
>>> ax.legend(loc='upper left')
>>> ax.set_ylabel('Total debt')
>>> ax.set_xlim(xmin=yrs[0], xmax=yrs[-1])
>>> fig.tight_layout()
