Line-Plot

Plotting without line

  • In the previous section, we learn how to plot a line graph using pyplot alias plt.
  • Now, we are going to see how to plot without the line or more specifically with different notations like 'o' for rings.
  • Let's have a look at this code demonstration. 
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    
    time = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    revenue = [200, 400, 650, 800, 850]
    
    plt.plot(time, revenue, 'o')
    plt.show()


Default X-Points

  • While plotting, if we do not specify the x-axis then they will get the default values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. 
  • Let's plot a line graph using only y-points:
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    
    y-points = [3,5,9,2,1,6,7,8]
    plt.plot(y-points)
    plt.show()


Multiple Line plots

  • We can plot multiple line plots in the same graph.
  • Matplotlib will automatically place the two lines on the same axes and give them different colors if you call plt.plot() twice.
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    
    lst1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    lst2 = [200, 400, 650, 800, 850]
    lst3 = [150, 500, 550, 550, 560]
    
    plt.plot(lst1, lst2)
    plt.plot(lst1, lst3)
    plt.show()
