Hands-On Exploratory Data Analysis with Python

Steps involved

Let's look at the process of creating the line chart:

1. Load and prepare the dataset. We will learn more about how to prepare data in Chapter 4, Data Transformation. For this exercise, all the data is preprocessed.
2. Import the matplotlib library. It can be done with this command:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

3. Plot the graph:

plt.plot(df)

4. Display it on the screen:

plt.show()

Here is the code if we put it all together:

import matplotlib.pyplot as pltplt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (14, 10)plt.plot(df)

And the plotted graph looks something like this:

In the preceding example, we assume the data is available in the CSV format. ...
