How to plot a series in pandas

Python can be used to manipulate and analyze data using the pandas library. It will help us in visualizing the results our data analysis yields.

To visualize a single series of data with the help of plot, we use the pd.Series() function. It will help us visualize a single series of data using different plots.

Syntax 

df.Series({'%%Series%%'})
gfg.plot(kind = '%%Plot type%%')

To use the series, we first define the Series using the built-in function. Then we define the kind of plot we want to use for our visualization in the plot function.

Example

Let's look at an example. 

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# using Series.plot() method
series = pd.Series([1.5,2.4,3.16, 4.32,5.9,6.81,7.2,4.5,5.6])
  
series.plot(kind='pie')
plt.show()

Explanation

  • Line 5: Pass the series of numbers as values to the Series() function.

  • Line 7: Define the type of plot we want to use for the visualization.
