Title and Labels - ( Matplotlib Plots )
Heading h2
Syntax
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.title('Title of the plot')
plt.xlabel('Label for X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Label for Y-axis')
Example
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# sample data for x and y axis
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 50)
y = np.sin(x)
# plot the data
plt.plot(x, y)
# add a title and labels for x and y axes
plt.title('Sinusoidal Plot')
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
# display the plot
plt.show()
Output
Explanation
Adding a title and labels to a plot is important for understanding the content of the plot. Matplotlib provides the title
, xlabel
, and ylabel
functions to add a title and labels to a plot.
In the above example, we first generate sample data for the x and y axis. We then plot the data using plt.plot()
. We use the title
, xlabel
, and ylabel
functions to add a title and labels for the x and y axes. Finally, we display the plot using plt.show()
.
Use
Adding a title and labels to a plot is useful for understanding the content of the plot. It helps in presenting the data in a more meaningful way and makes the plot more informative.
Important Points
- Adding a title and labels to a plot is important for understanding the content of the plot
- Matplotlib provides the
title
,xlabel
, andylabel
functions to add a title and labels to a plot - The
title
function is used to set the title of the plot - The
xlabel
function is used to set the label for the x-axis - The
ylabel
function is used to set the label for the y-axis - These functions should be called after plotting the data and before displaying the plot
Summary
In conclusion, adding a title and labels to a plot is an important aspect of data visualization. Matplotlib provides the title
, xlabel
, and ylabel
functions to add these elements to a plot. These functions should be called after plotting the data and before displaying the plot.
