Key Features

2D Plotting

Create line, bar, scatter, and histogram plots with full customization.

Chart Variety

Support for pie charts, error bars, stacked plots, and subplots.

Export & Styling

Save plots as PNG, SVG, PDF, and control fonts, colors, and layout.

Interactive Backends

Use interactive mode in Jupyter, Qt, Tkinter, or web dashboards.

How It Works

1

Install & Import

Use `pip install matplotlib` and `import matplotlib.pyplot as plt`.

2

Prepare Data

Use NumPy or Pandas to structure your data for plotting.

3

Create Plot

Use `plt.plot()`, `plt.bar()`, or `plt.scatter()` to generate visuals.

4

Customize Layout

Add titles, labels, legends, and tweak styles with `plt` functions.

5

Save or Display

Use `plt.savefig()` or `plt.show()` to export or render the chart.

Code Example

// Matplotlib Model Training
# Matplotlib Line Plot Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [10, 20, 25, 30, 40]

plt.plot(x, y, marker='o', color='teal')
plt.title("Sales Over Time")
plt.xlabel("Month")
plt.ylabel("Revenue")
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
