Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a line plot in Matplotlib – one of the most basic types of plots. Line Plots display numerical values one one axis, and categorical values on the other. They can typically be used in much the same way Bar Plots can be used, though, […]

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a bar plot in Matplotlib. Bar graphs display numerical quantities on one axis and categorical variables on the other, letting you see how many occurrences there are for the different categories. Bar charts can be used for visualizing a time series, as well as […]

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. Much of Matplotlib’s popularity comes from its customization options – you can tweak just about any element from its hierarchy of objects. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to change the marker size in a Matplotlib scatter plot. Import Data We’ll use the World Happiness dataset, and compare the Happiness Score against varying features to see what influences perceived happiness in the world: […]

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. From simple to complex visualizations, it’s the go-to library for most. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to plot a histogram plot in Matplotlib. Histogram plots are a great way to visualize distributions of data – In a histogram, each bar groups numbers into ranges. Taller bars show that more data falls in that range. A histogram displays the shape and spread of […]

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. Much of Matplotlib’s popularity comes from its customization options – you can tweak just about any element from its hierarchy of objects. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to rotate axis text/labels in a Matplotlib plot. Creating a Plot Let’s create a simple plot first: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.arange(0, 10, 0.1) y = np.sin(x) plt.plot(x, y) […]
