In today’s data visualization tutorial we’ll learn how to save a Matplotlib plot as a graphic file so you can later on embed into a website, presentation, Excel spreadsheet or documents. Creating our Matplotlib chart We’ll first go ahead and create our plot using Python and Matplotlib. Note that we’ll also use Numpy to generate … Read more
Today we’ll learn to draw a bit more sophisticated lineplots that display multiple lines. We’ll provide examples leveraging the two popular Python Data Visualization libraries: Seaborn and Matplotlib. Plot multiple lines with Matplotlib and Seaborn To create a line plot showing multiple lines with Matplotlib or Seaborn proceed as following: Importing Data Visualization libraries Create … Read more
In today data visualization we’ll show hot you can quickly add label to data points to a chart that would like to display. We’ll show how to work with labels in both Matplotlib (using a simple scatter chart) and Seaborn (using a lineplot). Add labels to Matplotlib and Seaborn plots Use the plt.annotate() function in … Read more
