    Creating Line Charts and Scatter Charts

    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt


    from matplotlib import style

    style.use('ggplot')
    x = [5,8,10]
    y = [12,16,6]
    x2 = [6,9,11]
    y2 = [6,15,7]
    plt.plot(x,y,,linewidth=5)
    plt.plot(x2,y2, linewidth=5)
    plt.title('Epic Info')
    plt.ylabel('Y axis')
    plt.xlabel('X axis')
    plt.show()
    Here, as you can see, the only reference to styling that we've made is the
    style.use() function, as well as the line width changes. We could also
    change the line colors if we wanted, instead of using the default colors,
    and get a chart like:
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    from matplotlib import style

    style.use('ggplot')
    x = [5,8,10]
    y = [12,16,6]
    x2 = [6,9,11]
    y2 = [6,15,7]
    plt.plot(x,y,'g',label='line one', linewidth=5)
    plt.plot(x2,y2,‘r ',label='line two',linewidth=5)
    plt.title('Epic Info')
    plt.ylabel('Y axis')
    plt.xlabel('X axis')
    plt.legend()
    plt.grid(True,color='k') k=black
    plt.show()
    Up to this, everything is about the same, but now you can see we've added
    another parameter to our plt.plot(), which is "label.“
    We need to call plt.legend() to show the legend for all lines. It's important
    to call legend AFTER you've plotted what you want to be included in the
    legend.
    Customization of Plots
    Changing Line color, width and style ,markersize
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    # x axis values
    x = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
    # corresponding y axis values
    y = [2,4,1,5,2,6]
    # plotting the points
    plt.plot(x, y, color='green', linestyle='dashed', linewidth =
    3, marker='o', markerfacecolor='blue', markersize=12)
    # setting x and y axis range
    plt.ylim(1,8)
    # naming the x axis
    plt.xlabel('x - axis')
    # naming the y axis
    plt.ylabel('y - axis')

    # giving a title to my graph


    plt.title('Some cool customizations!')

    # function to show the plot


    plt.show()
    Creating Scatter Chart
    First Way of Creating Scatter Chart
    Second Way of Creating Scatter Chart
    Syntax of scatter () function is –
    matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(a, b, marker=<type>)
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    # x-axis values
    x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
    # y-axis values
    y = [2,4,5,7,6,8,9,11,12,12]

    # plotting points as a scatter plot


    plt.scatter(x, y, label= "stars", color= "green",
    marker= "*", s=30)

    # x-axis label
    plt.xlabel('x - axis')
    # frequency label
    plt.ylabel('y - axis')
    # plot title
    plt.title('My scatter plot!')
    # showing legend
    plt.legend()

    # function to show the plot


    Here, we use plt.scatter() function to plot a scatter plot.
    Like a line, we define x and corresponding y – axis values here as well.
    marker argument is used to set the character to use as marker. Its size can
    be defined using s parameter.
