How can I plot different types of graphs using Matplotlib?

You can plot various types of graphs in Matplotlib, such as line plots, bar charts, scatter plots, and histograms. What type of graph are you interested in?

I want to create a scatter plot. Can you show me how?

Sure! To create a scatter plot, you can use the scatter() function. Here's a simple example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11]

plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.title('Scatter Plot Example')
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
plt.show()

This will create a basic scatter plot. Would you like to customize it further?

Yes, how can I change the color and size of the points?

You can customize the color and size of the points by adding the c and s parameters to the scatter() function. For example:

plt.scatter(x, y, c='red', s=100)

This will make the points red and increase their size. Would you like to know more about other customizations?

What about adding a trend line?

To add a trend line, you can use NumPy to calculate the line of best fit and then plot it using plot(). Would you like a code example for that?
