Python Matplotlib Exercise

This Matplotlib exercise project is to help Python developer to learn and practice Data data visualization using Matplotlib by solving multiple questions and problems.

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces high-quality charts and figures and which helps us visualize large data for better understanding. Pandas is a handy and useful data-structure tool for analyzing large and complex data.

For this exercise, we are using Pandas and Matplotlib to visualize Company Sales Data.

What included in this Matplotlib Exercise?

This exercise contains ten questions. The solution provided for each issue. Each question includes a specific Matplotlib topic you need to learn, When you complete each issue you get more familiar with Data data visualization using matplotlib.

Let’s start the exercise.

Exercise 1: Read Total profit of all months and show it using a line plot

Total profit data provided for each month. Generated line plot must include the following properties: –

  • X label name = Month Number
  • Y label name = Total profit

The line plot graph should look like this.

Matplotlib Exercise 1: Read Total profit of all months and show it using a line plot

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  

df = pd.read_csv("D:\\Python\\Articles\\matplotlib\\sales_data.csv")
profitList = df ['total_profit'].tolist()
monthList  = df ['month_number'].tolist()
plt.plot(monthList, profitList, label = 'Month-wise Profit data of last year')
plt.xlabel('Month number')
plt.ylabel('Profit in dollar')
plt.xticks(monthList)
plt.title('Company profit per month')
plt.yticks([100000, 200000, 300000, 400000, 500000])
plt.show()

Exercise Question 2: Get Total profit of all months and show line plot with the following Style properties

Generated line plot must include following Style properties: –

  • Line Style dotted and Line color should be red
  • Show legend at the lower right location.
  • X label name = Month Number
  • Y label name = Sold units number
  • Add a circle marker.
  • Line marker color as read
  • Line width should be 3
