Plot data from CSV using Python, matplotlib and outputty

plotter

This is a little project on top of outputty and matplotlib that aims in easily create plots (without all pain of using matplotlib). By now you can do linear, scatter and bar plots with data from CSV files.

Requirements/Installation

• Execute pip install numpy matplotlib outputty
• Download plotter
• Unpack outputty and plotter in the same directory (sorry for that - it'll be available on PyPI soon)

Examples

If you have a CSV file called data.csv with this content:

"X Values","Y Values","Z Values"
1,1,2011-01-01
4,8,2011-01-02
9,27,2011-01-03
16,64,2011-01-04
25,125,2011-01-05
36,216,2011-01-06
49,343,2011-01-07
64,512,2011-01-08
81,729,2011-01-09

and execute this little piece of code:

from plotter import Plotter
my_plot = Plotter('data.csv')
my_plot.scatter(x_column='Z Values', title='Hello, plotter!',
                colors=['blue', 'red'])
my_plot.save('data.png')

then data.png will be created:

For more example please see file test_plotter.py. If you run it, a directory called test_results will be created with the plots.
