How to Create a Bar Graph in Python

In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Create a Bar Graph in Python'. This time, we will learn how to create a simple bar graph. This Python program uses a library called matplotlib to display a bar graph with a user interface. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This tutorial will demonstrate the proper way of creating a game using a specific library. The program I will show you the proper way of displaying a bar graph. I will do my best to provide you with with a simple code that enable you to display a result in bar graph format. So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
left = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 
height = [333894467, 125897345, 1412869385, 1412678232, 142684345]
 
 
tick_label = ['USA', 'Japan', 'China', 'India', 'Russia']
 
 
plt.bar(left, height, tick_label = tick_label,
        width = 0.8, color = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow', 'orange'])
 
 
plt.xlabel('Country')
 
plt.ylabel('Total Population')
 
plt.title('Bar Chart')
 
 
plt.show()

In the code provide we use Matplotlib library to create a bar chart showing the total population of five countries. It defines the data for the countries (population) and their corresponding names.

Then, it plots the bar chart using the plt.bar() function, specifying the left positions, heights, tick labels, widths, and colors for the bars. Finally, it adds labels for the x and y axes and sets the title of the chart before displaying it using plt.show().
