Matplotlib Bars

With Pyplot, you can use the bar() function to draw bar graphs:

"B", "C", "D"])

plt.bar(x,y) plt.show()

The bar() function takes arguments that describes the layout of the bars. The categories and their values represented by the first and second argument as arrays.

Example x = ["APPLES", "BANANAS"] y = [400, 350] plt.bar(x, y)

If you want the bars to be displayed horizontally instead of vertically, use the barh() function:

"B", "C", "D"])

plt.barh(x, y) plt.show()

and barh() take the keyword argument color to set the color of the bars:

"B", "C", "D"])

plt.bar(x, y, color = "red") plt.show()

140 supported color names.

Draw 4 "hot pink" bars:

"B", "C", "D"])

plt.bar(x, y, color = "hotpink") plt.show()

Draw 4 bars with a beautiful green color:

"B", "C", "D"])

plt.bar(x, y, color = "#4CAF50") plt.show()
