Text alignment options in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the horizontal alignment of the text to center.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, 'Hello', ha=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'right'

B'left'

C'justify'

D'center'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'left' or 'right' instead of 'center' for centering text.

The ha parameter controls horizontal alignment. Using 'center' centers the text horizontally.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the vertical alignment of the text to top.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, 'Top aligned', va=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'top'

B'center'

C'bottom'

D'baseline'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'bottom' or 'center' instead of 'top' for vertical alignment.

The va parameter controls vertical alignment. Using 'top' aligns the text to the top.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code by choosing the correct horizontal alignment value.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, 'Error fix', ha=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'middle'

B'centre'

C'center'

D'centre-align'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using British spelling 'centre' instead of 'center'.

Using non-existent values like 'middle' or 'centre-align'.

The correct horizontal alignment value is 'center'. Other options are invalid and cause errors.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to center the text horizontally and align it vertically at the baseline.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.text(0.5, 0.5, 'Aligned Text', ha=[1], va=[2])
plt.show()

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

A'center'

B'baseline'

C'top'

D'left'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up horizontal and vertical alignment values.

Using 'top' instead of 'baseline' for vertical alignment.

Use 'center' for horizontal alignment and 'baseline' for vertical alignment to align text properly.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps words to their lengths only if the length is greater than 3.

Matplotlib

words = ['data', 'science', 'ai', 'ml']
lengths = { [1] : [2] for [3] in words if len([3]) > 3 }

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

Aword

Blen(word)

Ditem

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different variable names inconsistently.

Using the word variable as value instead of length.

The dictionary comprehension uses word as the key and len(word) as the value, iterating over word in words.
