💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.plot() instead of plt.figure()

Using plt.show() to create a figure

Using plt.subplot() which creates subplots, not a figure

The plt.figure() function creates a new figure in matplotlib.

Complete the code to create a figure with a specific size of 8 by 6 inches.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=[1])

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

A(8, 6)

B[8, 6]

C(6, 8)

D[6, 8]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using list instead of tuple for figsize

Swapping width and height values

Using single values instead of a tuple

The figsize parameter takes a tuple with width and height in inches. So (8, 6) sets width 8 and height 6.

Fix the error in the code to create a figure with a title 'My Plot'.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.[1]('My Plot')

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using fig.title() which does not exist

Using set_title() which is for axes, not figure

Using set_label() which is unrelated

The suptitle method sets the title for the whole figure, unlike set_title which is for axes.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a figure with a size of 10 by 4 inches and a blue background color.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=[1], facecolor=[2])

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

A(10, 4)

B(4, 10)

C'blue'

D'red'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping width and height in figsize

Using color names without quotes

Using list instead of tuple for figsize

The figsize parameter sets the figure size as a tuple, and facecolor sets the background color as a string.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a figure with a size of 12 by 5 inches, a green background, and a tight layout.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=[1], facecolor=[2])
fig.[3]()

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

A(12, 5)

B'green'

Ctight_layout

Dshow

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping width and height in figsize

Using wrong method name for layout adjustment

Forgetting parentheses after method call

The figsize should be a tuple with width then height, facecolor is a string for background color, and tight_layout() adjusts spacing automatically.
