How do I create bar charts with Pandas?

You can create bar charts in Pandas using the plot method. First, ensure you have Matplotlib installed.

What data format do I need to use?

You can use a DataFrame with your data. The x-axis will be the index or a specified column, and the y-axis will be the values.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a quick example:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'Fruits': ['Apples', 'Bananas', 'Cherries'], 'Counts': [10, 15, 7]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.plot(kind='bar', x='Fruits', y='Counts')
plt.show()

What if I want to customize the chart?

You can customize the chart by adding parameters like title, xlabel, ylabel, and changing colors. For example:

df.plot(kind='bar', x='Fruits', y='Counts', color='skyblue')
plt.title('Fruit Counts')
plt.xlabel('Fruits')
plt.ylabel('Counts')
plt.show()
