Using Pandas

Pandas do have a little charting library in his toolbox. But will require matplotlib if you want to show it if you are running it from a script.

Here is the simplest example :

# We import the pandas along with the matplotlib library
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

# We create our dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(0,10), data={"y1" : range(0,10)})

# We plot the dataframe
df.plot(kind="bar")

# We need to show the plot.
plt.show() # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

The simplest way to plot it using Pandas and Matplotlib

You can pass quite a lot of paremeters to the .plot() method.

Such as

A title as title="My amazing title"
xlabel as xlabel="x"
ylabel as ylabel="y"
the type of chart here wen have kind="bar" default is line
etc...

Like so :

# We import the library
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# We create our dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(0,10), data={"y1" : range(0,10)})

# We plot the dataframe
df.plot(title="My amazing title",
        xlabel="X",
        ylabel="y",
        kind="bar")
plt.show()

Using all the parameters shown above
