Matplotlib: Create Custom Line Plot – A Full Guide

It is easy to create a custom line plot in python matplotlib. In this tutorial, we will use some examples to show you how to do.

2.Prepare data for line plot

x = np.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=25)

3.Display line plot in matplotlib

plt.plot(x, color = 'blue', linewidth=3, linestyle='-.')
plt.show()

Run this code, you will see this line plot:

However, we can set other parameters to create a custom line plot in plt.plot().

Here is another example:

plt.plot(x, color = 'blue', linewidth=3, linestyle='dashed')
plt.show()

Here linestyle=’dashed’, run this code, you will see:
