Matplotlib line plot

What is a line plot?

It's connect the data point through a line so it display the data as a line. For visualizing continuous data line plots are commonly used.

How to create a line plot?

To create line plot write module_name.plot().In the bracket pass parameters.

Some mandatory parameters:

The first parameter is for the x-axis. Here we pass variable names where we stored values for creating line plot.

The first parameter is for the y-axis. Here we pass variable names where we stored values for creating line plot.

Some other parameters:

colors="colors name ".Used to give colors of bars.Color name, RGB color, hex color, etc.

markers="o etc". Used to set markers.o,^,* etc

markersize=2,3,4,5 etc. Used to set marker size.

linewidth=1,2,3 etc. Used to set bars borders width.

linestyle=":,--,-.,- etc". Used to set bars borders line style.

How to give title,labels,legend,grid?
Title
For title write module_name.title().
In the bracket write the title as a string. For font size write fontsize:value . Between title name and font size parameter give a coma.

xlabel
For label at x-axis write module_name.ylabel().
In the bracket write the label name as a string. For font size write fontsize:value. Between label name and font size parameter give a coma.

ylabel
For the label at the y-axis write module_name. ylabel().
In the bracket write the label name as a string. For font size write fontsize:value. Between label name and font size parameter give a coma.

legend
If there are multiple bars and every bar defines different things, then you should use the legend to give a name for each bar so that you can understand which bar is for why.To give legend first write module_name.legend().Pass all the names as a list in the bracket. To set the position use the loc parameter. You can give the value of the loc parameter between 0 to 3

grid
For grid first write module_name.grid().
Some parameters of the grid are
1.color: used to set the color of the grid.Example: color="green".
2.linestyle: used to set grid line style.Example: linestyle="--".
3.linewidth: used to set line width of the grid.example: linewidth=2.

Input
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
value1=[40,45,67,78,90]
value2=[55,70,81,88,100]
plt.plot(value1,value2,color="red",marker="o",linewidth="2.7",linestyle=":",markersize="5")
plt.title("Histogram for practise")
plt.ll("x axis value")
plt.ylabel("y axis value")
plt.grid(color="red",linewidth=2,linestyle=":")
plt.legend(["value1","value2"])
plt.show()
