Plotting a graph in python
Question: I'm new to python and want to plot a point on graph in python..

    
    
    X_cord=int(raw_input("Enter the x-coordinate"))
    Y_cord=int(raw_input("Enter the y-coordinate"))
    

I could just figure out this much.


Answer: Have a look at [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org), a 2D plotting library for
Python. For your code, this could work:

    
    
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # I include a module which contains the plotting functionality I need: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html
    plt.plot(X_cord,   # here go the X coordinates
             Y_cord,   # here go the Y coordinates
             marker='x', # as I'm plotting only one point here, I'd like to make it extra visible
             markersize=10 # by choosing a nice marker shape ('x') and large size
             )
    plt.show() # this shows the current plot in a pop-up window
    

If you would like to immediately save the figure as an image, you can also
choose to replace the last line by

    
    
    plt.savefig("my_first_plot.pdf", bbox_inches='tight')
    plt.close()
    

_Edit:_ I spelled it out a bit more, but the main suggestion is to get to know
Python better (ample tutorials on the web, this is not the place for it) and
to read the matplotlib documentation if you want to know more about plotting.
Hope this helps, or feel free to post specific problems you are having.
