Stem Plot
=========
`~.pyplot.stem` plots vertical lines from a baseline to the y-coordinate and
places a marker at the tip.
.. code-block:: default
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0.1, 2 * np.pi, 41)
y = np.exp(np.sin(x))
plt.stem(x, y)
plt.show()

:class: sphx-glr-single-img
The position of the baseline can be adapted using *bottom*.
The parameters *linefmt*, *markerfmt*, and *basefmt* control basic format
properties of the plot. However, in contrast to `~.pyplot.plot` not all
properties are configurable via keyword arguments. For more advanced
control adapt the line objects returned by `~.pyplot`.
.. code-block:: default
markerline, stemlines, baseline = plt.stem(
x, y, linefmt='grey', markerfmt='D', bottom=1.1)
markerline.set_markerfacecolor('none')
plt.show()
