Description

This workshop provides an introduction to visualization with Python. We will cover visualization principles and plotting with Matplotlib and Seaborn, working through examples in a Jupyter notebook and documentation of each plotting package. We’ll also learn about styles and customizing plots. Throughout the workshop, we’ll discuss the plot types best suited for particular kinds of data.

The following plot types will be covered:

  • Histogram

  • Barplot

  • Boxplot

  • Scatterplot

  • Lineplot

  • Subplot

We'll also learn about styles and customizing plots. Throughout the workshop, we'll discuss the plot types best suited for particular kinds of data.
