Graph Your Data With Python and ggplot
In this course, you’ll learn how to use ggplot
in Python to create data visualizations using a grammar of graphics. A grammar of graphics is a high-level tool that allows you to create data plots in an efficient and consistent way. It abstracts most low-level details, letting you focus on creating meaningful and beautiful visualizations for your data.
There are several Python packages that provide a grammar of graphics. This course focuses on plotnine since it’s one of the most mature ones. plotnine is based on ggplot2
from the R programming language, so if you have a background in R, then you can consider plotnine as the equivalent of ggplot2
in Python.
