Data Visualization using Matplotlib -

Class 12 CBSE Notes


1. Introduction to Data Visualization
Data visualization is the graphical representation of data and information using visual
elements like charts, graphs, and plots.

Importance:

 - Helps in analyzing data trends and patterns.


 - Makes data interpretation easier.
 - Enhances decision-making based on visual insights.

2. Matplotlib Library
Importing Matplotlib:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

3. Types of Plots

A. Line Plot
Used to represent continuous data over intervals like time, distance, etc.

Example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [10, 20, 25, 30, 35]
plt.plot(x, y, color='blue', marker='o', linestyle='--')
plt.xlabel('X-Axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-Axis')
plt.title('Simple Line Plot')
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
B. Bar Graph
Used to compare data across different categories.

Example:

subjects = ['IP', 'Math', 'English', 'Physics']


marks = [88, 92, 85, 90]
plt.bar(subjects, marks, color='purple')
plt.xlabel("Subjects")
plt.ylabel("Marks")
plt.title("Marks in Different Subjects")
plt.show()

C. Histogram
Used to show frequency distribution of continuous data (e.g. age, scores).

Example:

ages = [15, 16, 16, 17, 18, 15, 16, 17, 17, 16, 18]
plt.hist(ages, bins=4, color='orange', edgecolor='black')
plt.xlabel("Age")
plt.ylabel("Frequency")
plt.title("Age Distribution of Students")
plt.show()

4. Plot Customization
import pandas as pd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample plot data


x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

y = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

plt.plot(x, y, label='Line Plot')

# Add labels and title

plt.xlabel('X-Axis Label') # X-axis label

plt.ylabel('Y-Axis Label') # Y-axis label

plt.title('Title of the Graph') # Graph title

# Add legend and grid

plt.legend() # Legend

plt.grid(True) # Grid

plt.show() #show the plot

5. Saving a Plot

plt.savefig('plot.png')
6. Complete Example

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y1 = [10, 20, 25, 30, 35]
y2 = [5, 15, 20, 25, 30]
plt.plot(x, y1, label='Line A', color='green', marker='o', linestyle='--')
plt.plot(x, y2, label='Line B', color='red', marker='s', linestyle='-.')
plt.xlabel('Time')
plt.ylabel('Values')
plt.title('Multiple Line Plot')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()

7. Summary Table
Feature Function Example
Line Plot plt.plot() plt.plot(x, y)
Bar Graph plt.bar() plt.bar(x, height)
Histogram plt.hist() plt.hist(data, bins=5)
Title plt.title() plt.title("My Plot")
Axis Labels plt.xlabel(), plt.ylabel() plt.xlabel("X")
Grid plt.grid(True)
Legend plt.legend()
Save Plot plt.savefig("file.png")
