Plotting words frequency and NLTK

Question

I have a file with various words, which I want to count the frequency of each word in the document and plot it. However, my plot is not showing results. The x-axis must contain the words, and the y-axis the frequency. I am using NLTK, NumPy and Matplotlib

Here's my code, maybe I did something wrong

def graph():
    f = open("file.txt", "r")
    inputfile = f.read()
    words = nltk.tokenize.word_tokenize(inputfile)
    count = set(words)
    dic = nltk.FreqDist(words)
    FreqDist(f).plot(50, cumulative=False)
    f.close()

• Given a list of words in the file file.txt:

southbound
stopped
travel
lane
started
around
stopped
stopped
started

Answer 1

import nltk

def graph():
    with open("file.txt", "r") as f:
        inputfile = f.read()
    tokens = nltk.tokenize.word_tokenize(inputfile)
    fd = nltk.FreqDist(tokens)
    fd.plot(30,cumulative=False)

graph()

You can play with the graph by altering the parameters to the plot()
