Grid lines configuration in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to show grid lines on the plot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.grid([1])
plt.show()

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

AFalse

BTrue

C'yes'

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string like 'yes' instead of a boolean.

Passing None which does not enable grid lines.

Using plt.grid(True) turns on the grid lines on the plot.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set grid lines only on the y-axis.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.grid(axis=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'y'

B'x'

C'both'

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'x' which shows grid lines on the horizontal axis.

Using None which disables grid lines.

Setting axis='y' shows grid lines only along the y-axis.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to set grid line style to dashed.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.grid(linestyle=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'dotted'

B'dashed'

C'--'

D'solid'

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the word 'dashed' which is not recognized.

Using 'dotted' which creates dots, not dashes.

The linestyle parameter accepts short codes like '--' for dashed lines.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set grid color to red and line width to 2.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.grid(color=[1], linewidth=[2])
plt.show()

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

A'red'

B2

C1

D'blue'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a number for color instead of a string.

Using a string for linewidth instead of a number.

Use color='red' and linewidth=2 to style the grid lines.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a grid with dashed green lines and alpha transparency 0.5.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
plt.grid(linestyle=[1], color=[2], alpha=[3])
plt.show()

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

A'--'

B'green'

C0.5

D'solid'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'dashed' instead of '--' for linestyle.

Using a string for alpha instead of a number.

Using a color name other than 'green'.

Dashed lines use '--', color is 'green', and transparency is set with alpha=0.5.
