Four Types of Bar Charts in Python – Based on Array Data

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.array(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'])
y = np.array([50, 30, 70, 80, 60])

plt.bar(x, y, align='center', width=0.5, color='b', label='data')
plt.xlabel('X axis')
plt.ylabel('Y axis')
plt.title('Bar chart')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

y1 = np.array([50, 30, 70, 80, 60])
y2 = np.array([20, 40, 10, 50, 30])

plt.bar(x, y1, align='center', width=0.5, color='b', label='Series 1')
plt.bar(x, y2, bottom=y1, align='center', width=0.5, color='g', label='Series 2')
plt.xlabel('X axis')
plt.ylabel('Y axis')
plt.title('Stacked Bar Chart')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

# Add labels, legend, and axis labels

# calculate percentage

# Display the plot
plt.show()
