Sometimes, data is available in the format of a Dictionary and we can use it directly to plot in matplotlib without converting it into separate lists.

The following example is an illustration of how to plot using Dictionary.

Illustration:

Python code for plotting using dictionary

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'a': np.arange(50),
        'c': np.random.randint(45, 50, 50),
        'd': np.random.randint(40,45,50)}

plt.plot('a', 'c', data=data)
plt.bar('a', 'd', data=data)
plt.ylim(20,55)
plt.xlabel('entry a')
plt.ylabel('entry c')
plt.show()

Output:

Output is as figure
