Matplotlib Basics

The document introduces the basics of matplotlib, a Python library for creating visualizations and plots. It shows how to create simple line plots and scatter plots from lists of x and y values and from Pandas DataFrames. It also demonstrates basic styling options like changing colors, markers, line styles, and adding labels and titles. The goal is to understand the core matplotlib functionality that Pandas and Seaborn build upon.

Matplotlib Basics
Here we cover the minimum basics of matplotlib functionality, just enough to understand how Pandas plotting
and Seaborn are built on top of Matplotlib. We will mainly use Pandas or Seaborn plotting throughout the
course, here we show just the basic interactions possible with matplotlib. Do not consider this a
comprehensive guide! For more information on matplotlib, visit: https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/index.html

# add semicolon to hide matplotlib text output

# When running a .py file , you need to add plt.show() at the end of your commands

In [11]:

# For running .py files!


plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

Basic Tools
We will only use pure matplotlib for really quick,basic plots.

Style Calls
One of the main reasons to learn the absolute basics is to see how the style interactions effect the API.

That is all we will cover for matplotlib, the rest will be more intuitive with our use of pandas and seaborn!
