Data visualization allows us to analyze the data and examine the distribution of data in a pictorial way.<\/p>\n

We may use BarPlot<\/strong> to visualize the distribution of categorical data variables. They depict a discrete value distribution. As a result, it reflects a comparison of category values.<\/p>\n

The x-axis shows discrete values, whereas the y axis represents numerical values of comparison and vice versa.<\/p>\n

BarPlot with <\/strong>Matplotlib<\/h4>\n

The Python matplotlib package includes a number of functions for plotting data and understanding the distribution of data values.<\/p>\n

To construct a Bar plot with the matplotlib module, use the matplotlib.pyplot.bar() function.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n

matplotlib.pyplot.bar(x, height, width, bottom, align)<\/pre>\n

Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n

x:<\/strong> The barplot’s scalar x-coordinates<\/p>\n

height:<\/strong> It is the height of the bars to be plotted.<\/p>\n

width:<\/strong> This is optional. It is the width of the bars to be plotted.<\/p>\n

bottom:<\/strong> It is the vertical baseline.<\/p>\n

align:<\/strong> This is optional. It is the type of bar plot alignment.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n
