Welcome! Let's get started with Sympathy for Data. Continuing from the video where we cleanup data, in this video you will learn how to create and export plots
Step 1: Start connecting a new node
![Start connecting a new node](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c2e48b89ba6e333bb783_Part%205-1.png)
To start, drag from the output port and drop to begin connecting a new node. Choose the "Figure" node.
Step 2: Configure node
![Configure node](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c2f314ba3b6c9b1743b0_Part%205-2.png)
After that, configure the "Figure" node. Choose the scatter plot option and select "year" as X signal and "price" as Y signal. The other settings are optional based on your preference.
Step 3: Saving and Executing

Save the node's configuration and execute the node.
Step 4: Opening the Data Viewer
![Opening the Data Viewer](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c31cec07dad15593d1f6_Part%205-4.png)
Open the data viewer. You'll find the figures shown as a plot. This plot displays "year" on the x-axis and "price" on the y-axis. You can close the viewer when you're done.
Step 5: Exporting the Figure Plot
![Exporting the Figure Plot](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c3338e201c20623519c7_Part%205-5.png)

Now, let's export the figure plot. Start connecting a new node and choose "Item to List". This is a type conversion needed for the next node. Execute this node.
Step 6: Connecting Another Node
Now start connecting another node. Choose "Export Figures" for this node.
Step 7: Configuring the Export Node

Configure the "Export Figures" node. Click on the "..." button to browse for the output directory.
Step 8: Creating a New Directory
![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c3f84e42184ae51acc76_Part%205-8.png)
Instead of using an existing directory, let's create a new directory called "Plots". Select it as the output directory.
Step 9: Setting the Filename and Exporting
![Setting the Filename and Exporting](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/643eac7af5d1f633f4dbcbbd/6515c40dc83713e431af1465_Part%205-9.png)
Type "cardata_plot" as the filename. Press OK to save the node's configuration. Execute it so that "cardata_plot.png" is exported.
Congratulations, now you know how to create and export plots using Sympathy for Data!
