💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Forgetting to use '\n' for new lines

Using a single line string without '\n'

The '\n' creates a new line in the text. Adding 'Line2' after '\n' shows two lines.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the font size of multi-line text.

Matplotlib

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using string instead of integer for fontsize

Choosing too small or too large font sizes

The fontsize parameter controls the size of the text. 12 is a common readable size.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly display multi-line text with alignment.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.text(1, 2, 'First line\nSecond line', ha=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'middle'

B'center'

C'centre'

D'left'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect alignment strings like 'middle' or 'centre'

Omitting quotes around the alignment string

The correct horizontal alignment values are 'left', 'center', or 'right'. 'center' centers the text.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create multi-line text with vertical and horizontal alignment.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.text(1, 2, 'Line1\nLine2', ha=[1], va=[2])
plt.show()

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

A'center'

B'top'

C'bottom'

D'left'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up ha and va parameters

Using invalid alignment strings

Horizontal alignment 'center' centers text horizontally. Vertical alignment 'top' aligns text to the top.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to add multi-line text with color, font size, and alignment.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.text(1, 2, 'Hello\nWorld', color=[1], fontsize=[2], ha=[3])
plt.show()

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

A'blue'

B14

C'right'

D'green'

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using numbers as strings for fontsize

Using invalid color names

Wrong alignment strings

Color 'green' is chosen, fontsize 14 is readable, and horizontal alignment 'right' aligns text to the right.
