Data Visualization
-Python
What is data visualization?
Data visualization isthe representation of data through use of common
●
graphics, such as charts, plots, infographics, and even animations.
These visual displays of information communicate complex data relationships
●
and data-driven insights in a way that is easy to understand.
It allows us to quickly interpret the data and adjust different variables to
●
see effects.
Data visualization is a critical step in the data science process, helping teams
●
and individuals convey data more effectively to colleagues and decision makers.
●Teams that manage reporting systems typically leverage defined template
views to monitor performance.
What is Matplotlib?
Matplotlib is a python package used for 2D graphics.
●
●Matplotlib is a low level graph plotting library in python that
serves as a visualization utility.
Matplotlib was created by John D. Hunter.
●
Matplotlib is open source and we can use it freely.
●
●Matplotlib is mostly written in python, a few segments are written
in C, Objective-C and Javascriptfor Platform compatibility.
Plotting x and y points:
● The plot()function is used to draw points (markers) in a diagram.
● By default, the plot()function draws a line from point to point.
● The function takes parameters for specifying points in the diagram.
● Parameter 1 is an array containing the points on the x-axis.
● Parameter 2 is an array containing the points on the y-axis.
If we need to plot a line from (1, 3) to (8, 10), we have to pass two
●
arrays [1, 8] and [3, 10] to the plot function.
Types of plots:
PIE CHART
●
LINE GRAPH
●
HISTOGRAM or BAR GRAPH
●
SCATTER PLOT
●
Pie Charts
Line Chart
Histogram or Bar Graph
Scatter Plot
