Matplotlib is a powerful visualization library in Python, widely used for creating static, interactive, and animated visualizations in Python. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications and is widely used for data analysis and visualization.
Key Features
- Flexible Plotting: Matplotlib provides a wide range of plotting options including line plots, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, and more.
- Customization: You can customize almost every aspect of the plots, including colors, line styles, markers, and labels.
- Integration: Matplotlib integrates well with other Python libraries like NumPy, pandas, and SciPy.
Getting Started
To get started with Matplotlib, you can install it using pip:
pip install matplotlib
Example Plot
Here is a simple example of a line plot using Matplotlib:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.title('Simple Line Plot')
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
plt.show()
