Line plot

A line plot is a chart that displays a line between two variables. It has a sequence of data points joined by a segment:

# Add the essential library matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# create the data
x = [1,3,5,7,9,11]
y = [10,25,35,33,41,59]

# Draw the line chart
plt.plot(x, y)

# Append the label on X-axis
plt.xlabel("X-label")

# Append the label on X-axis
plt.ylabel("Y-label")

# Append the title to chart
plt.title("Line Chart Sample")

# Display the chart
plt.show()

This results in the following output:

In the preceding line plot program, the plot() function takes x-axis and y-axis values. In the next section, we will learn how to plot a pie chart.
