plot multiple lists [duplicate]

Question

I am Building a GUI by Python and want to plot the the daily bonus of employees depends on the user plotting target:

Bob=[100,30,50,90]
Sammy=[10,60,90,200] 
Tom=[70,90,90,90]

# input from GUI User is Tom
ploting_target='Tom'

if ploting_target=='Tom':`
   plt.plot([0,1,2,3], Tom)

elif ploting_target=='Sammy':
   plt.plot([0,1,2,3], Sammy)

plt.plot([0,1,2,3], Tom)

____________________________________________
#expecting  
#find_target=list_of_employee.index(ploting_target)

#plt(plot([0,1,2,3], list_of_employee[find_target])

What is your specific coding question? You might want to organize your data as a dictionary e.g.: plotting_dict = dict(Bob=[100,30,50,90], Sammy=[10,60,90,200],Tom=[70,90,90,90]) and plt.plot([0,1,2,3], plotting_dict[ploting_target]) — JohanC

thanks for you comment, i want just to plot the daily bounce that the user want to plot, for example: the input is to Tom ( the bounce is saved as a list in python worksapce) Tom=[70,90,90,90]. so, what i need to write a code to plot these values that is all. — Ayman M

As per one of the duplicates, the simplest answer, w/o resorting to pandas, is plt.plot(Bob, 'g', Sammy, 'r', Tom, 'b'). And the other duplicate has the pandas approach: pd.DataFrame([Bob, Sammy, Tom]).T.plot() — Trenton McKinney

Your question is unclear. If you have a list of employees, you can probably use Pandas to organize your data (almost the same as @JohanC suggested with dict):

# pip install pandas
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Bob = [100, 30, 50, 90]
Sammy = [10, 60, 90, 200] 
Tom = [70, 90, 90, 90]

df = pd.DataFrame({'Bob': Bob, 'Sammy': Sammy, 'Tom': Tom})
df.index = 'Date ' + df.index.astype(str)

Output:

>>> df
       Bob  Sammy  Tom
Day 0  100     10   70
Day 1   30     60   90
Day 2   50     90   90
Day 3   90    200   90

Now you can do df.plot():

Or for a specific employee df['Sammy'].plot():

Or for a list of employees (but not all) df[['Bob', 'Tom']].plot():
