We have just revised the basic ways of data handling with Python. Without further ado, let's create our first "Hello World!" plot example.
To create a pandas DataFrame from objects such as lists and ndarrays, you may call:
importpandasaspd
To start creating Matplotlib plots, we first import the plotting API pyplot
by entering this command:
importmatplotlib.pyplotasplt
This will start your plotting routine.
After importing matplotlib.pyplot
as plt
, we draw line plots with the plt.plot()
command.
Here is a code snippet for a simple example of plotting the temperature of the week:
# Import the Matplotlib module importmatplotlib.pyplotasplt # Use a list to store the daily temperature t = [22.2,22.3,22.5,21.8,22.5,23.4,22.8] # Plot the daily temperature t as a line plot plt.plot(t) # Show the plot plt.show()
After you run the code...
