XII-IP : Plotting with Pyplot

Plotting with Pyplot

Matplotlib is the whole python package/ library used to create 2D  graphs and plots by using python scripts. pyplot is a module in  matplotlib, which supports a very wide variety of graphs and plots  namely - histogram, bar charts, power spectra, error charts etc. It is  used along with NumPy to provide an environment for MatLab.

Pyplot provides the state-machine interface to the plotting library in  matplotlib.It means that figures and axes are implicitly and  automatically created to achieve the desired plot. For example,  calling plot from pyplot will automatically create the necessary  figure and axes to achieve the desired plot. Setting a title will then  automatically set that title to the current axes object.The pyplot  interface is generally preferred for non-interactive plotting (i.e.,  scripting).
