Mastering Matplotlib: Part 4
Starting EDA with impactful Visualizations…
Hello and welcome to Part Four of this mini-series on data visualization with the most popular Python
visualization library called matplotlib
.
The goal is to take you from beginner to expert in data visualization via matplotlib,
without unnecessary details that you don’t need to know.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when it comes to Data, a chart is worth a thousand lines…
This is a beginner-friendly roadmap that is designed for everyone interested in data visualization. The only requirement is basic programming experience with Python
and some interaction with pandas
or numpy
.
In part one, we explored the matplotlib
architecture, created plots with the three layers and 26 different plot styles. In part two we explored the matplotlib-pandas
synergy via the plot()
function. In part three we went deeper into intermediate pandas
for data visualization.
For Part 4, we shall begin Explorative Data Analysis (EDA) and displaying visual plots that depict our analysis. The dataset we shall explore is the immigration to Canada dataset from 194 countries to Canada from…
