Matplotlib is a powerful and versatile Python library for creating static,
animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. It is widely used for
data exploration, analysis, and communication.

Matplotlib seamlessly integrates with other Python libraries, such
as NumPy and Pandas, for data manipulation and analysis.

Line charts are used to visualize trends over time or to
show the relationship between two continuous variables.

2 Scatter Plot
Scatter plots are useful for visualizing the relationship
between two variables, showing clusters, outliers, and
patterns.

3 Bar C art
Bar charts effectively compare discrete categories or
groups of data by representing values as bars of varying
lengths.

Title
1 Plots are given meaningful titles using `plt.title()` to
concisely describe the data being visualized.

Label
2 `plt.xlabel()` and `plt.ylabel()` add labels to the x-axis and
y-axis, respectively, for clarity and understanding.

3 Legends are added using `plt.legend()` to distinguish
multiple datasets or series within a single plot.

Subplots allow multiple plots to be arranged in a grid format within
a single figure.

Grid layouts provide a structured way to compare and contrast


different datasets or views of data.

`plt.subplots()` function is used to create a figure with multiple


subplots.
