Assignment
- Download lab13.py, rename it according to the instructions above, and make sure you understand it.
- Download MSU College Enrollments.csv and CS Faculty.csv into the same directory as the above file.
- Modify the program so that when it runs, Figure 1 looks like this and Figure 2 looks like this. Note: To see the xlabel after the figure is displayed, select the “Configure subplots” button at the bottom of the displayed graph and then increase the “bottom” slider manually.
Grading – 10 points
- 2 points – A dataframe is created using the read_csv method.
- 1 points – The labels for the x-axis and y-axis are determined by information in the dataframe. Thus, any csv file that has the same format as the two files being used in lab would display correctly.
- 1 points – The title for the graph is determined by the information in the string parameter file_name that comes before the “.csv” file extension.
- 6 points – The dataframe plot method uses each of the following arguments correctly such that the sample graphs are matched exactly: title, legend, x, y, kind and color correctly. 1 point each.
If Time Remains
- Work on Program 6, seeking feedback from your lab assistant if desired.
