Line plots are essential for visualizing trends over time or continuous data. Here's how to create them effectively using Python's matplotlib and seaborn libraries.

📊 Key Steps to Create Line Plots

  1. Prepare Your Data

    • Ensure your dataset has a time-based or sequential column (e.g., dates, numerical indices).
    • Clean and organize data to avoid misleading visualizations.

  2. Plot the Data 

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
plt.plot(x_data, y_data)  
plt.title("Trend Over Time")  
plt.xlabel("Time")  
plt.ylabel("Value")  
plt.show()

  3. Customize the Appearance

    • Use colors and line styles to highlight patterns.
    • Add annotations for critical data points.
    • Adjust axis limits and grid lines for clarity.

📌 Best Practices

  • Avoid overcrowding the plot with too many lines.
  • Label axes clearly and include a legend if necessary.
  • Use consistent intervals for time or numerical axes.
