Fix Python – How to plot two columns of a pandas data frame using points

I have a pandas dataframe and would like to plot values from one column versus the values from another column. Fortunately, there is plot method associated with the data-frames that seems to do what I need:

Fix Python – Plot a bar using matplotlib using a dictionary

Is there any way to plot a bar plot using matplotlib using data directly from a dict?
My dict looks like this:
D = {u’Label1′:26, u’Label2′: 17, u’Label3′:30}

I was expecting
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5.5,3),dpi=300)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
bar = ax.bar(D,range(1,len(D)+1,1),0.5)

to work, but it does not.
Here is the error:

Fix Python – How to export plots from matplotlib with transparent background?

In other words, when I export a plot like this and position it on top of another image, the white background hides what is behind it rather than allowing it to show through. How can I export plots with a transparent background instead?

Fix Python – matplotlib get ylim values

I’m using matplotlib to plot data (using plot and errorbar functions) from Python. I have to plot a set of totally separate and independent plots, and then adjust their ylim values so they can be easily visually compared.
How can I retrieve the ylim values from each plot, so that I can take the min and max of the lower and upper ylim values, resp….

Fix Python – Plotting a list of (x, y) coordinates in matplotlib

I have a list of pairs (a, b) that I would like to plot with matplotlib in python as actual x-y coordinates. Currently, it is making two plots, where the index of the list gives the x-coordinate, and the first plot’s y values are the as in the pairs and the second plot’s y values are the bs in the pairs.
To clarify, my data looks like this: li = [….
