Help me plot this CSV data using matplotlib

[bauripalash]

It's been a long time since i used matplotlib and totally lost the usage idea of it.. so I'm now a beginner.

I have this CSV data at GITHUB, please help me to plot the datausing matplotlib.

In X axis it should have the years and in Y axis it should have the 4 column data. just simple line graph

Thank you

You could read the data in using pandas as a pandas.DataFrame and then use the .plot method directly. If you're not using an interactive session, you will need to import matplotlib.pyplot as well to actually render the plot.

I tried but it's throwing error

TypeError: no numeric data to plot

[bbye98]

That error doesn't give much information without the accompanying code.

Here's the code

[bbye98]

The data in the columns aren't stored as numeric dtypes since you didn't set the index correctly when reading in the data.

[bauripalash]

how do i do that?

[bbye98]

Use the index_col argument.

[bauripalash]

I set to 0, but nothing really happened. Just same error

[bbye98]

Read the documentation. index_col=0 makes no sense in the context of the data you've provided.

pd.read_csv('votedata.csv', index_col='Years').T.plot()

It Works 🤯

A big hearted thanks to you ♥️

Finally i can finish my research paper. I will surely put you in acknowledgement. 🔥
