The plot() method of a DataFrame, based on the matplotlib package, may be used to create plots with the help of pandas, which offers an easy interface. The data in a pandas DataFrame are graphically represented using a pandas’ DataFrame visualization.


  • plot(): You may generate a variety of plots for the data in a DataFrame using the plot() function, including line plots, bar graphs, scatter plots, and more. The columns used for the x-axis and y-axis may be specified using the x and y parameters, respectively. Additionally, you may select the type of plot to be created using the kind option (e.g. "line", "bar", "scatter", etc.). 
  • matplotlib: Python's matplotlib package allows users to build interactive, animated, and static visualisations. It offers a sophisticated drawing tool for creating eye-catching and educational statistics visuals. The scientific Python community frequently uses matplotlib to produce various plots and charts to display data.  

Here is how you can plot a dataframe using Pandas;

In this solution, we use the plot function of the Pandas library

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'game 1':[4,5,2], 'game 2':[3,4,1], 'game 3':[3,2,2]}, index=['team a', 'team b', 'team c'])
>>> df
        game 1  game 2  game 3
team a       4       3       3
team b       5       4       2
team c       2       1       2

>>> df.plot(kind='bar')

plt.figure(figsize=(20,5))
df.T.plot(kind='line',subplots=True, figsize=(4,6))
  1. Copy the code using the "Copy" button above, and paste it in a cell of Jupyter notebook.
  2. Add the code "import pandas as pd" above the pasted snippet.
  3. Run the cell to create Pandas dataframe plots.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "pandas dataframe plot" in kandi. You can try any such use case!

                      If you do not have Pandas that is required to run this code, you can install it by clicking on the above link and following the installation instruction from either Github or Pypi links through the Pandas page in kandi.


                      You can search for any dependent library on kandi like Pandas.

                      Environment Tested


                      I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

                      1. The solution is created in Python3.7.
                      2. The solution is tested on Pandas 1.3.1 version.


                      Using this solution, we are able to read online data and create a Dataframe using the Pandas library in Python with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us read data in Pandas.
