Draw a parametrized curve using pyplot.plot() in Matplotlib

To draw a parametrized curve using pyplot.plot(), we can take the following steps −

• Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
• Initialize a variable, N, for number of samples.
• Create t, r, x and y data points using numpy.
• Create a figure and a set of subplots.
• Use plot() method to plot x and y data points.
• To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True N = 400 t = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, N) r = 0.5 + np.cos(t) x, y = r * np.cos(t), r * np.sin(t) fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.plot(x, y) plt.show()
