# Analytics using Ultralytics YOLOv8
## Introduction
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of three fundamental types of data visualizations: line graphs, bar plots, and pie charts. Each section includes step-by-step instructions and code snippets on how to create these visualizations using Python.
### Visual Samples
| Line Graph | Bar Plot | Pie Chart |
| :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| ![Line Graph](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/eeabd90c-04fd-4e5b-aac9-c7777f892200) | ![Bar Plot](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/c1da2d6a-99ff-43a8-b5dc-ca93127917f8) | ![Pie Chart](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/9d8acce6-d9e4-4685-949d-cd4851483187) |
### Why Graphs are Important
- Line graphs are ideal for tracking changes over short and long periods and for comparing changes for multiple groups over the same period.
- Bar plots, on the other hand, are suitable for comparing quantities across different categories and showing relationships between a category and its numerical value.
- Lastly, pie charts are effective for illustrating proportions among categories and showing parts of a whole.

## FAQ
### How do I create a line graph using Ultralytics YOLOv8 Analytics?
To create a line graph using Ultralytics YOLOv8 Analytics, follow these steps:
1. Load a YOLOv8 model and open your video file.
2. Initialize the `Analytics` class with the type set to "line."
3. Iterate through video frames, updating the line graph with relevant data, such as object counts per frame.
4. Save the output video displaying the line graph.
Example:
```python
import cv2
from ultralytics import YOLO, solutions
model = YOLO("yolov8s.pt")
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("Path/to/video/file.mp4")
out = cv2.VideoWriter("line_plot.avi", cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"MJPG"), fps, (w, h))
analytics = solutions.Analytics(type="line", writer=out, im0_shape=(w, h), view_img=True)
while cap.isOpened():
success, frame = cap.read()
if success:
results = model.track(frame, persist=True)
total_counts = sum([1 for box in results[0].boxes.xyxy])
analytics.update_line(frame_count, total_counts)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord("q"):
break
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```

model = YOLO("yolov8s.pt")
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("Path/to/video/file.mp4")
out = cv2.VideoWriter("line_plot.avi", cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"MJPG"), fps, (w, h))
analytics = solutions.Analytics(type="line", writer=out, im0_shape=(w, h), view_img=True)
while cap.isOpened():
success, frame = cap.read()
if success:
results = model.track(frame, persist=True)
total_counts = sum([1 for box in results[0].boxes.xyxy])
analytics.update_line(frame_count, total_counts)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord("q"):
break
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
