Matplotlib – Bar Chart

To draw a Bar chart using Matplotlib, use bar() function of maplotlib.pyplot package.

Example

In the following example, we draw the price chart of XY stock with time.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = [2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016]
height = [5.6, 7, 2.5, 4, 3.8, 6.1]

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.bar(x, height)

ax.set_xlabel('Time')
ax.set_ylabel('Price')
ax.set_title('XY Stock')

plt.show()

Output
