matplotlib是python的一个开源的2D绘图库，它的原作者是John D. Hunter，因为在设计上借鉴了matlab，所以成为matplotlib。和Pillow一样是被广泛使用的绘图功能，而在深度学习相关的部分，matplotlib得宠的多。这篇文章将简单介绍一下如何安装以及使用它来画一些非常常见的统计图形。

概要信息

注意事项：由于Python2支持到2020年，很多python库都开始主要支持python3了，matplotlib的主分支也已经是python3了。而这篇文章中为了简单，安装和demo代码依然是在python2.7上进行验证的。

安装

使用pip install即可直接安装。安装日志如下：

liumiaocn:tmp liumiao$ python -mpip install -U pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (10.0.1)

使用

正弦函数

我们使用numpy和matplotlib可以非常简单地就能够画出正弦的波形图，具体代码如下：

liumiaocn:plot liumiao$ cat plot-1.py 
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
print("y=sin(x): x with range fo -4pi to 4pi")
x=np.arange(-4*np.pi, 4*np.pi, 0.1)
y=np.sin(x)
#print sin
plot.plot(x,y)
plot.show()
liumiaocn:plot liumiao$

执行&结果确认

liumiaocn:plot liumiao$ python plot-1.py 
y=sin(x): x with range fo -4pi to 4pi

直方图

最简单的直方图的做法，可以通过bar或者hist来创建

liumiaocn:plot liumiao$ cat plot-2.py 
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(7)
y = (10,15,24,7,14,30,20)
plt.bar(x,y)
plt.show()
liumiaocn:plot liumiao$

饼图

使用pie函数创建饼图

liumiaocn:plot liumiao$ cat plot-3.py 
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
dateinf = '06/01', '06/02', '06/03', '06/04', '06/05', '06/06', '06/07'
bugnums = [11,22,7,29,24,15,18]
plt.pie(bugnums, labels=dateinf)
plt.show()
liumiaocn:plot liumiao$
