Creating line graphs in Python

Line Graphs are used to represent simple information in X-axis and Y-axis. Like, for an example, an international cricket batsmen scores over span of last five years can be drawn in a graph which indicates his form.

--------------------------------------

To draw graphs and any visualizations matplotlib is used. Install matplotlib using pip

--------------------------------------

Below is a simple example to create a linear graph showing runs scored by an international cricketer in last 5 years

import matplotlib.pyplot as plotdata

#create lists of data to be displayed

years = ["2017","2018","2019","2020","2021"]

runs = [1200,960,1450,1240,340]

#create line graph with desired axis

plotdata.plot(years,runs,'brown')

#set the title of the graph

plotdata.title('Player A International score')

plotdata.xlabel('Years')

plotdata.ylabel('Runs')

plotdata.show()

The output shall be:
