Mastering Matplotlib: Part 5
EDA with Stacked and Unstacked Histograms
Hello and welcome to Part Five 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. In part four we went deep into the most common plots:- Line and Area plots. We explored stacked and unstacked Area plots and played with colour-maps and the 148 colours of matplotlib.
