# Plot Categories

Matplotlib supports a wide range of plot types: line plots (`plot`), bar charts (`bar`, `barh`), scatter plots (`scatter`), histograms (`hist`), box plots (`boxplot`), pie charts (`pie`), and more. Choosing the right plot type depends on the data structure and the relationship being communicated.
