Axis limits (xlim, ylim) in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the x-axis limits from 0 to 10.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
plt.[1](0, 10)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using ylim instead of xlim.

Using set_xlim without plt prefix.

Using axis which sets both axes limits.

The xlim function sets the limits of the x-axis. Here, it is set from 0 to 10.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the y-axis limits from -5 to 5.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
plt.[1](-5, 5)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using xlim instead of ylim.

Using set_ylim without plt prefix.

Using axis which sets both axes limits.

The ylim function sets the limits of the y-axis. Here, it is set from -5 to 5.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to set both x and y axis limits correctly.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
plt.axis([1])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A[0, 10, 5, -5]

B(0, 10, -5, 5)

C[0, 10, -5, 5]

D(10, 0, -5, 5)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using tuple instead of list.

Swapping ymin and ymax values.

Reversing xmin and xmax.

The plt.axis() function accepts a list with four values: [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]. The correct order is [0, 10, -5, 5].

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary that sets x-axis limits from 1 to 4 and y-axis limits from 10 to 20.

Matplotlib

limits = {'xlim': ([1], [2]), 'ylim': (10, 20)}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using y-axis values for x-axis limits.

Swapping the order of limits.

Using strings instead of numbers.

The dictionary keys 'xlim' and 'ylim' expect tuples with two values each. Here, x-axis limits are set from 1 to 4.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set x-axis limits from 0 to 5 and y-axis limits from -2 to 3 using plt.axis().

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.axis([[1], [2], [3], 3])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the order of limits.

Using incorrect values for axis limits.

Forgetting that axis expects a list.

The plt.axis() function takes a list of four values: [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]. Here, xmin=0, xmax=5, ymin=-2, ymax=3.
