Q.1: Plotting only y-values. The simplest use of pyplot is to plot a list of values on the y axis while letting pyplot choose the x-axis. In this case, pyplot takes one argument and – the list – an optional formatting argument.
(i)First, import pyplot ( write command for it below)
Answer: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
(ii) Now generate a list ML having 10 elements, but in which each element is the square of its position in the list: Complete the code below:import _______
ML = [ ]
for _ in ____:
ML.append(i*i)
Answer:
Code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ML = []
for i in range(10):
ML.append(i*i)
(iii) Now simply plot the sequence ML with a plot(). That is, run the following code now.plt.plot(ML)
plt.show()
See what happens? Paste the result below:
Answer:
(iv) Save it as the file first.png. Write command below.
Answer: plt.savefig('first.png')
Q.2: Plotting and v-values. To control both the x-axis and the y-axis, you need to provide to lists of the same length – one containing the x values and another containing the y values. For this example, we will use sequences L1 and L2
Sequence L1 is created as : numpy.arange(0, 8, 1)
(i) Sequence L2 contains cos values for each of the value of L1. Write code below to create L2:
Answer: l2 = np.cos(l1)
(ii) Now write command to plot a graph x- versus y- :
Answer:plt.plot(l1, l2)
plt.show()
(iii) What is the result produced by above code? Paste the result below:
Answer:
(iv) Save the result in file second.pdf in folder c:\data. Carefully give the path by doubling the slashes. Write command below.
Answer: plt.savefig('C:\data\second.pdf')
(v) Now modify the above code and add a proper title using title() for the chart and for the X-axis and Y-axis using functions xlabel() and ylabel(). (Write code for this below)
Answer:
plt.title('Title for graph') # function to give title to graph
plt.xlabel('values') # function to add x label
plt.ylabel('cos values') # function to add y label
Q.3: Plotting multiple line charts in single plot. Create a Python script with following code in it.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
plt.plot (x, np.sin(x))
plt.plot (x, np.cos(x))
pit.show()
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
plt.plot (x, np.sin(x))
plt.plot (x, np.cos(x))
pit.show()
(i) Run the above code and paste its result below:
Answer:
(ii) Add a third line chart to above plot with log values for each value of sequence x i.e., x vs log(x).
Add code for the same in above code:
Answer:
Code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x))
plt.plot(x, np.cos(x))
plt.plot(x[1:], np.log(x[1:]))
# plt.plot(x, np.log(x))# this gives error RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in log
(iii) Run the code and paste its result below:
Answer: plt.show()
(iv)Change line style for sin curve as ‘–’ of olive color, for cos curve as ’-’ blue color and continuous line for log curve of silver color. (write code below)
Answer:
Code:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), '-', color="olive")
plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), '--', color="blue")
plt.plot(x[1:], np.log(x[1:]), color="silver")
# plt.plot(x, np.log(x))# this gives error RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in log
(v) Add legends to above plot, labeling as “Sin curve”, “Cos curve” and “Log curve”. The position of legends should be lower right.
Answer:
Code:import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
sin, = plt.plot(x, np.sin(x), '-', color="olive",label = "sin curve" )
cos, = plt.plot(x, np.cos(x), '--', color="blue", label = "soc curve")
log, = plt.plot(x[1:], np.log(x[1:]), color="silver",label = "log curve")
# plt.plot(x, np.log(x)) # this gives error RuntimeWarning: divide by zero encountered in log
plt.legend(handles=[sin, cos, log], loc= "lower right")
(vi) Paste the result of above command below:
Answer:
(vii) Save the above figure
Answer: plt.savefig('sin_cos_log.png')
