Single Line Plot
To draw a basic line plot in Matplotlib, use the plt.plot(~) function like so:
x_values = [1,2,3,4]y_values = [3,6,9,12]plt.plot(x_values, y_values) #draw the plotplt.show() #show the plot
This produces the below plot:
Multiple Line Plot
To draw multiple lines on the same plot, call plt.plot(~) for each line you would like to draw:
x_values_1 = [1,2,3,4]y_values_1 = [3,6,9,12]x_values_2 = [1,2,3,4]y_values_2 = [2,4,6,8]
plt.plot(x_values_1, y_values_1) #Draw the plotsplt.plot(x_values_2, y_values_2)plt.show() #show the plot
This produces the following output:
