Python Data Visualization Basics

The document contains code examples for creating different types of plots using Matplotlib in Python, including: 1) A simple line plot with labeled x- and y- axes and a title; 2) A plot with two lines on the same graph with a legend; 3) A customized line plot with adjustments to colors, styles, widths, markers, and axis ranges; 4) Bar charts and histograms to visualize categorical and continuous data; 5) A pie chart showing portion breakdowns with labels, colors, and exploded slices.
