stairs(values)

See stairs when plotting \(y\) between \((x_i, x_{i+1})\). For plotting \(y\) at \(x\), see step.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.style.use('_mpl-gallery')

# make data
y = [4.8, 5.5, 3.5, 4.6, 6.5, 6.6, 2.6, 3.0]

# plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.stairs(y, linewidth=2.5)

ax.set(xlim=(0, 8), xticks=np.arange(1, 8),
       ylim=(0, 8), yticks=np.arange(1, 8))

plt.show()
