Plot Without Line

In the Matplotlib plot, you can create a plot without the line. Let me show you how to do it.

First, let us create a normal plot with a line

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

xpoints = np.array([0, 6])
ypoints = np.array([0, 250])

plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints)
plt.show()

In order to make a plot without the line, you just need to pass o as the third argument to the plot method

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

xpoints = np.array([0, 6])
ypoints = np.array([0, 250])

plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints, 'o')
plt.show()

If you run the above code, you will get the following output result

That is it! that is how you can create a plot without the line. Thank you for reading this blog and have a nice day!
