This tutorial shows how to pyplotplot a dictionary in Python using the module from Python's matplotlib library. We will key-valueplot the dictionary as pairs, where the x-axis is the keys of the dictionary and the y-axis is the values ​​of the dictionary.

Plotting Python dictionaries using Matplotlibthe library'spyplot

The following code example converts the dictionary into a list of key-value pairs and then sortedsorts it using the function so that our graph is in order. Once sorted, the and values zip​​are extracted from the list using the function .xy

After getting the values ​​of the x-axis and y-axis, we can pass them as parameters to plt.plotthe function for graph drawing.

Sample code:

import matplotlib.pylab as plt

my_dict = {"Khan": 4, "Ali": 2, "Luna": 6, "Mark": 11, "Pooja": 8, "Sara": 1}

myList = my_dict.items()
myList = sorted(myList)
x, y = zip(*myList)

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

Output:

We can also add labels to the x-axis and y-axis and add a title to the graph. The following code example shows how we can add them to the graph.

import matplotlib.pylab as plt

my_dict = {"Khan": 4, "Ali": 2, "Luna": 6, "Mark": 11, "Pooja": 8, "Sara": 1}

myList = my_dict.items()
myList = sorted(myList)
x, y = zip(*myList)

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.xlabel("Key")
plt.ylabel("Value")
plt.title("My Dictionary")
plt.show()

Output:
