In this post, we will look at how to run a simple bar chart in Python. We will use matplotlib.
Here’s the code. We will display a chart with x-axis showing “team” data vs y-axis showing “score”:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt |
team = ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F') |
score = [9,2,5,4,8,6] |
plt.bar(team, score) |
plt.show() |
Let’s run this in Visual Studio Code. Save the code with a .py extension, right-click and Run Python File in Terminal:
This will open a bar chart:
If we want to add labels to the axis and chart, we can use:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt |
team = ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F') |
score = [9,2,5,4,8,6] |
plt.xlabel('Team') |
plt.ylabel('Score') |
plt.title('Team Scores') |
plt.bar(team, score) |
plt.show() |
This displays:
