pyplot

✓ import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Standard import for plotting functions

A basic example to create and display a simple line plot using Matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Create a simple line plot plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9]) plt.title('Simple Plot') plt.xlabel('X-axis') plt.ylabel('Y-axis') plt.show()

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe default linewidth in `plot` has increased from 1 to 1.5 in version 3.10.8.

fix

To revert to the previous default, set `mpl.rcParams['lines.linewidth'] = 1.0`.

affects: 3.10.8

breakingThe dash patterns for line styles `'--'`, `':'`, and `'-.'` have changed in version 3.10.8.

fix

To restore the previous dash patterns, set `mpl.rcParams['lines.dashed_pattern'] = [6, 6]`.

affects: 3.10.8

breakingThe `errorbar` function no longer includes caps on error bars by default in version 3.10.8.

fix

To include caps, set `mpl.rcParams['errorbar.capsize'] = 3`.

affects: 3.10.8

breakingThe `boxplot` function's default styling has changed in version 3.10.8, including color and marker updates.

fix

To revert to the previous styling, set `mpl.rcParams['boxplot.flierprops.color'] = 'k'`.

affects: 3.10.8

gotchaThe test environment generated pip warnings about running pip as the 'root' user, which can lead to broken permissions, and a notice about a new pip release being available.

fix

It is recommended to run pip in a virtual environment instead of as the 'root' user. Additionally, consider updating pip to the latest version by running 'pip install --upgrade pip'.

affects: N/A
