Components of a Graph

Each graph has a set of common components that can be adjusted. The names that Matplotlib uses for these components are demonstrated in the following graph:

Figure 2.3: Components of a graph

The components of a graph are as follows:

  • Figure: The base of the graph, where all the other components are drawn.

  • Axis: Contains the figure elements and sets the coordinate system.

  • Title: The title gives the graph its name.

  • X-axis label: The name of the x-axis, usually named with the units.

  • Y-axis label: The name of the y-axis, usually named with the units.

  • Legend: A description of the data plotted in the graph, allowing you to identify the curves and points in the graph.

  • Ticks and tick labels: They indicate the points of reference on a scale for the graph, where the values of the data are. The labels indicate the values themselves.

  • Line plots: These are the lines that are plotted with the data.

  • Markers: Markers are the pictograms that mark the point data.

  • Spines: The lines that delimit the...
