# pycounts can be used to count words in a text file and plot results as follows:

from pycounts_kw.pycounts_kw import count_words
from pycounts_kw.plotting import plot_words
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

file_path = "zen.txt"  # path to your file
counts = count_words(file_path)
fig = plot_words(counts, n=10)
plt.show()
