The optional parameter fmt is a convenient way for defining basic formatting like color marker and linestyle.
Matplotlib pyplot plot. There are various plots which can be used in pyplot are line plot contour histogram scatter 3d plot etc. Plot x y plot x and y using default line style and color plot x y bo plot x and y using blue circle markers plot y plot y.
