df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
x = df['x_column']
y = df['y_column']

# Apply style and customize
plt.style.use('seaborn-v0_8-darkgrid')
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (10, 6)
plt.rcParams['font.size'] = 12

# Create plot
plt.plot(x, y, 'b-', linewidth=2, label='Data')
plt.xlabel('X axis', fontsize=14)

Troubleshooting & Best Practices | Common Issues | Performance Optimization | Best Practices

Common Issues

Import Errors: Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt. Verify Python 3.8+
Plot Not Displaying: Use plt.show() or %matplotlib inline in Jupyter
Figure Size: Set using figsize parameter or plt.rcParams['figure.figsize']
Export Errors: Check file path and permissions. Supported formats: PNG, PDF, SVG, EPS, JPG
Memory Issues: Close figures with plt.close() after saving
Style Sheets: Use plt.style.available to see available styles
Subplot Layout: Use plt.tight_layout() to adjust spacing
High Resolution: Use dpi=300 and bbox_inches='tight' for publications

Performance Optimization Tips

Data Size: Downsample large datasets for faster plotting
Figure Management: Close figures with plt.close() to free memory
Export: Use DPI 72 for web, 300 for print. Choose vector formats (PDF, SVG) for scalability
Notebook Performance: Use %matplotlib inline in Jupyter. Clear output regularly

Best Practices

Data Quality: Clean and format data before plotting. Handle missing values
Labels: Always add clear axis labels, titles, and legends
Color Schemes: Use colorblind-friendly schemes. Apply consistent colors across plots
Export: Use PNG for web, PDF for publications, SVG for scalability. High DPI (300) for print
Styling: Apply consistent styling. Use style sheets for uniformity
Figure Management: Close figures after saving. Clear plots in notebooks regularly

Use Cases and Applications

Data Exploration: Understand patterns, distributions, and relationships
Publication Figures: High-quality figures for academic papers and reports
Time Series: Visualize trends and temporal patterns
Statistical Analysis: Histograms, box plots, violin plots
Scientific Visualization: 3D plots, contour plots, surface plots
Dashboards: Multi-panel figures for data presentation

System Requirements

Minimum: Python 3.8+, Jupyter 1.0.0+, 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores

Recommended: Python 3.9+, Latest Jupyter, 8 GB RAM, 4 CPU cores

Performance: Small datasets (1K-10K points) render in <1s. Large datasets (100K+) may take 3-10s. Consider downsampling for very large datasets.
