Data Visualization in Python with Pandas and Matplotlib

by David Landup

Data Visualization in Python with Matplotlib and Pandas is a book designed to take absolute beginners to Pandas and Matplotlib, with basic Python knowledge, and allow them to build a strong foundation for advanced work with these libraries - from simple plots to 3D plots and interactive buttons.Through practical, hands-on and straightforward examples, the book guides you through Data Visualization and Exploration using Python, Pandas and Matplotlib. You'll learn how to use the constituent elements of Pandas to load and manipulate datasets, as well as visualize them, the different styles of Matplotlib plotting and the anatomy of Matplotlib plots, before learning how to customize the elements to your liking. Furthermore, the book covers a great deal of different plot types, from simple Pie Charts and Bar Plots to 3D Surface Plots and Joint Plots. Each different plot type features a new dataset, containing different types of data you might want to visualize, guiding you through many unique aspects of Data Visualization.

This book aims to be your one-stop-shop for Matplotlib-related questions, including common tasks, frequently searched questions regarding customization and a wide variety of plot types - including the ones not built-in to the library itself.
