    sales = [45000, 52000, 48000, ...]   # Your sales figures
    return months, sales

Changing Color Schemes

# Replace color codes in visualizations
colors = ['#e74c3c', '#3498db', '#2ecc71', '#f39c12', '#9b59b6']

# Or use built-in colormaps
ax.plot(x, y, cmap='viridis')  # or 'plasma', 'inferno', 'coolwarm'

Adjusting Figure Size

# Main dashboard
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12))  # Change dimensions

# Individual plots
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))  # Adjust as needed

📝 Code Examples

Creating a Custom Visualization

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Create figure
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))

# Generate data
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x)

# Plot
ax.plot(x, y, linewidth=2, color='#3498db', marker='o')
ax.fill_between(x, y, alpha=0.3)

# Styling
ax.set_xlabel('X Axis', fontweight='bold')
ax.set_ylabel('Y Axis', fontweight='bold')
ax.set_title('Custom Visualization', fontsize=14, fontweight='bold')
ax.grid(True, alpha=0.3)

# Save
plt.savefig('custom_plot.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
plt.show()

Loading Your Own Data

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load data
df = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')

# Create visualization
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))
ax.bar(df['category'], df['value'], color='#3498db')
ax.set_title('Your Data Visualization')

plt.savefig('output.png', dpi=300)

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: Matplotlib backend error

Solution: Install matplotlib backend

pip install python-tk

Issue: Missing data files

Solution: Ensure all files are in the same directory

ls -la

Issue: Low resolution output

Solution: Increase DPI parameter

plt.savefig('output.png', dpi=300)  # or higher

Issue: Overlapping labels

Solution: Rotate labels or adjust figure size

plt.xticks(rotation=45)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16, 10))
