Chapter 6: DataFrame methods

Plotting

Pandas also wraps around Matplotlib to make it easy to plot your data. It works pretty much like Matplotlib.

The official documentation gives lots of example of how to achieve this.

In the following example, we plot a histogram for the values of "Defense".

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> import panda as pd
>>> df = pd.read_csv("pokemon.csv", index_col="Name")
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> axis = df["Defense"].plot.hist()
>>> plt.show()
