How to print the Y-axis label horizontally in a Matplotlib/Pylab chart?
Just by using plt.ylabel(rotation='horizontal'), we can align a label according to our requirement.StepsPlot the lines using [0, 5] and [0, 5] lists.Set the y-label for Y-axis, using ylabel method by passing rotation='horizontal'.Set the x-label for X-axis, using xlabel method.To show the plot, use plt.show() method.Examplefrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.plot([0, 5], [0, 5]) plt.ylabel("Y-axis ", rotation='horizontal') plt.xlabel("X-axis ") plt.show()Output

By creating a 3D projection on the axis and iterating that axis for different angles using view_init(), we can rotate the output diagram.StepsCreate a new figure, or activate an existing figure.Add an `~.axes.Axes` to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement with nrow = 1, ncols = 1, index = 1, and projection = '3d'.Use the method, get_test_data to return a tuple X, Y, Z with a test dataset.Plot a 3D wireframe with data test data x, y, and z.To make it rotatable, we can set the elevation and azimuth of the axes in degrees (not radians), using view_init() ...

First, we can create bars using plt.bar and using xticks. Then, we can align the labels by setting the “vertical” or “horizontal” attributes in the “rotation” key.StepsMake lists, bars_heights, and bars_label, with numbers.Make a bar plot using bar() method, with bars_heights and length of bars_label.Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the X-axis, using xticks() with rotation='vertical' and bars_label.To show the plot, use plt.show() method.Examplefrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt bars_heights = [14, 8, 10] bars_label = ["A label", "B label", "C label"] plt.bar(range(len(bars_label)), bars_heights) plt.xticks(range(len(bars_label)), bars_label, rotation='vertical') plt.show()Output

Use the plot method of matplotlib and set the legend with different sets of colors.StepsSet the X-axis label using plt.xlabel() method.Set the Y-axis label using plt.ylabel() method.Plot the lines using plt.plot() method with [9, 5], [2, 5] and [4, 7, 8] array.Initialize two variables; location = 0 for the best location and border_drawn_flag = True (True, if border to be drawn for legend. False, if border is not drawn).Use plt.legend() method for the legend and set the location and border_drawn_flag accordingly to get the perfect legend in the diagram.Show the figure using plt.show() method.Exampleimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ylabel("Y-axis ") ...
Read MorePutting a newline in Matplotlib label with TeX in Python
The following program code shows how you can plot a newline in matplotlib label with Tex.StepsSetup X-axis and Y-axis labels for the diagram with to plot a newline in the labels.Set the current .rcParams for axes facecolor; the group is axed.Use a cycler to set the color for the group of lines. The color list consists of ‘r’ for red, ‘g’ for green, ‘b’ for blue, and ‘y’ for yellow.The cycler class helps to create a new Cycler object from a single positional argument, a pair of positional arguments, or the combination of keyword arguments.Plot the number of lines ...
Read MoreDrawing average line in histogram in Matplotlib
We can plot some expressions using the hist method. After that, we will plot the average graph for the expression using the plot method and bins that are returned while creating the hist.StepsGet the data for x using some equations, set num_bins = 50.Create fig and ax variables using subplots method, where default nrows and ncols are 1.Get n, bins, patches value using ax.hist() method.Plot average lines using bins and y data that is obtained from some equations.Set the X-axis label using plt.xlabel() method.Set the Y-axis label using plt.ylabel() method.Set a title for the axes.Using tight_layout(), we can adjust the ...
Read MoreHow to prevent numbers being changed to exponential form in Python Matplotlib?
Using style='plain' in the ticklabel_format() method, we can restrict the value being changed into exponential form.StepsPass two lists to draw a line using plot() method.Use ticklabel_format() method with style='plain'. If a parameter is not set, the corresponding property of the formatter is left unchanged. Style='plain' turns off scientific notation.To show the figure, use plt.show() method.Examplefrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]) plt.ticklabel_format(style='plain') # to prevent scientific notation. plt.show()Output
Read MoreGenerating a movie from Python without saving individual frames to files
Using the FuncAnimation method, we can create a film. We will create a user-defined method, update, to keep on changing the position of particles and at the end, the method would return the scatter instance.StepsGet the particles initial position, velocity, force, and size.Create a new figure, or activate an existing figure with figsize = (7, 7).Add an axes to the current figure and make it the current axes, with xlim and ylim.Plot the scatter for initial position of the particles.Makes an animation by repeatedly calling a function *func*. We can pass a user-defined method that helps to change the position ...
Read MoreHow to turn on minor ticks only on the y-axis Matplotlib?
First, we can create fig, ax using subplots() and then, we can plot the lines. After that, using ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(tck.AutoMinorLocator()), we can turn on the minor ticks.StepsCreate fig and ax variables using subplots method, where default nrows and ncols are 1.Plot the line using two lists.Set the locator of the minor ticker.Dynamically find minor tick positions based on the positions of major ticks. The scale must be linear with major ticks evenly spaced.Using plt.show() method, we can show the figure.Exampleimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.ticker as tck fig, ax = plt.subplots() plt.plot([0, 2, 4], [3, 6, 1]) ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(tck.AutoMinorLocator()) plt.show()Output
Read MoreHow to zoom subplots together in Matplotlib/Pyplot?
We can use the attribute sharex = "ax1", and then, use the subplot method to zoom the subplots together.StepsAdd a subplot to the current figure with (nrow = 1, ncols = 2, index = 1).Add line on the current subplot with (nrow = 1, ncols = 2, index = 1).Add a subplot to the current figure with (nrow = 1, ncols = 2, index = 2).Add line on the current subplot with (nrow = 1, ncols = 2, index = 2), where sharex can help to share the x or y `~matplotlib.axis` with sharex and/or sharey. The axis will have ...
