How do I plot a graph in Python?

Question

I have installed Matplotlib, and I have created two lists, x and y.

I want the x-axis to have values from 0 to 100 in steps of 10 and the y-axis to have values from 0 to 1 in steps of 0.1. How do I plot this graph?

Answer 1

Have a look through the Matplotlib gallery. All the graphs there have their source code available. Find one you like, cut & paste, and dissect!

Answer 2

There is a very good book:
