Python In Practice - 15 Projects to Master Python - Different Types of Plots with Matplotlib

This video tutorial covers the basics of using Matplotlib for data visualization in Python. It starts with an introduction to creating basic plots, followed by detailed instructions on generating bar and scatter plots with various customizations. The tutorial then explores horizontal bar charts, including how to compare data using these charts. Finally, it demonstrates how to create and customize pie charts, highlighting the importance of labels and legends in data representation.

How can you add a legend to a Matplotlib plot?

• By using the 'legend()' function

• By using the 'label()' function

• By using the 'title()' function

• By using the 'annotate()' function

What is the purpose of a legend in a plot?

What happens if a label is included in a pie chart with a zero value?

• The label is displayed with a full wedge

• The label is displayed with a small wedge

• The label causes an error

• The label is ignored
