python plot function code 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: 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 3: plot function in numpy

import numpy as np 
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 

x = np.arange(1,11) 
y = 2 * x + 5 
plt.title("Matplotlib demo") 
plt.xlabel("x axis caption") 
plt.ylabel("y axis caption") 
plt.plot(x,y) 
plt.show()

Example 4: 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 5: matplotlib line plot

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# Median Developer Salaries by Age
dev_x = [25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35]

dev_y = [38496, 42000, 46752, 49320, 53200,
         56000, 62316, 64928, 67317, 68748, 73752]

plt.plot(dev_x, dev_y)
plt.xlabel('Ages')
plt.ylabel('Median Salary (USD)')
plt.title('Median Salary (USD) by Age')
plt.show()

#Basic line graph using python module matplotlib

Example 6: python plot

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