Introduction to NumPy and Matplotlib
Chapter 9: Matplotlib
Warming up
Here is a series of exercises to practice plotting with Matplotlib.
These exercises were prepared by William, a Teaching Scholar.
Your task is to reproduce the figures as provided.
Each exercise builds on your solutions from the previous task. You will only need to add one or two new lines to your existing solution.
Ready?
Firstly, remember to import numpy and matplotlib so that you can use them!
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
We will also define our x, y, and z arrays to be plotted.
resolution = 1000
x = np.linspace(0, 50, resolution)
y = np.sin(x)
z = np.exp(y)
Task 1: Warming up
Let’s do this one together! Plot y against x and call this figure 1.
plt.figure(1)
plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()
