How it works…

The line plots with different line styles are produced with the following code:

plt.plot(xvalues, ls = '-', color='green')plt.plot(xvalues + 1, ls = '--', color='green')plt.plot(xvalues + 2, ls = ':', color='green')plt.plot(xvalues + 3, ls = '-.', color='green')

The line style is set with the ls option, which accepts the values shown in the following table:

Option	Line style
'-' or 'solid'	Solid line
'--' or 'dashed'	Dashed line
'-.' or 'dashdot'	Dashed-dotted line
':' or 'dotted'	Dotted line
None, ' ' or ''	Blank line

 

In the second subplot, we demonstrate the use of markers with the following code:

plt.plot(xvalues, marker='o', ls='', color='blue')plt.plot(xvalues + 1, marker='^', ls='', color='blue') ...
