Data Visualization using Python
Revision Notes

Some important Points in Data Visualization are:


Data visualization basically refers to the graphical or visual representation of
information and data using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps etc.
The matplotlib is a Python library that provides many interfaces and functionality
for 2D-graphics similar to MATLAB's in various forms.
Pyplot is a collection of methods within matplotlib which allow user to construct 2D
plots easily and interactively. PyPlot essentially reproduces plotting functions and
behavior of MATLAB.
In order to use pyplot on your computers for data visualization, you need to first
import it in your Python environment by issuing import command for
matplotlib.pyplot.
NumPy is a Python library that offer many functions for creating and manipulating
arrays, which come handy while plotting.
You need to import 'numpy' before using any of its functions.
Numpy arrays are also called 'ndarrays'.
Some commonly used chart types are line chart, bar chart, pie chart, scatter chart etc.
A line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a series of
data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments.
You can create line charts by using pyplot's plot() function.
You can change line color, width, line-style, marker-type, marker-color, marker-size in
plot() function.
Possible line styles are: solid for solid line, dashed for dashed line, dotted for dotted
line and dashdot for dashdotted line.
A Bar Graph/Chart is a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
You can create bar chart using pyplot's bar() function.
You can change colors of the bars, widths of the bars in bar() function.
Use barh() function to create a horizontal bar chart.
The pie chart is a type of graph in which a circle is divided into sectors that each

represent a proportion of the whole.
You can create a pie chart using pie( ) function. The pie( ) chart plots a single data
range.
By default, the pie chart is oval in shape but you can change to circular shape by
giving command <matplotlib.pyplot>.axis("equal”).
The plot area is known as figure and every other element of chart is contained in it.
The axes can be labelled using xlabel() and ylabel() functions.
The limits of axes can be defined using xlim() and ylim() functions.
The tick marks for axes values can be defined using xticks() and yticks() functions.
The title() function adds title to the plot.
Using legend() function, one can add legends to a plot where multiple data ranges
have been plotted, but before that the data ranges must have their label argument
defined in plot() or bar() function.
The loc argument of legend() provides the location for legend, which by default is 1 or
upper right.
