    1. Basics of Data Visualization

    Data Visualization

     Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and data.


    o Visualizing data such as graphs, charts, and maps provide us with an easy way of
    identifying and understanding trends, patterns and outliers in the data

    Best quote

     A picture gives more meaningful information than thousand words

    If data is in textual information, then can’t we identify the patterns?

     However, if data is in textual information, then yes, we can even identify but it’s very
    difficult.

    Why Visualize Data?

     Our eyes tend to be drawn more to colors and patterns.


     Data visualization is a special type of visual art that can easily grab our attention and keep
    the eyes on the message.
     It is easy for us to differentiate between a square and a circle, red and blue.
     We have been used to a visual culture such as art, TV ads, and movies.
     After seeing a chart, we can quickly identify trends and outliers.
     The advantages of data visualization improved sight, faster decision making & etc

    Data Visualization Techniques

     Choosing the right visualization technique is a key factor to ensuring that the data is well
    understood.
     So, before visualizing you have to choose right method to use.
     There are a variety of techniques that a data analyst can use to present data and show the
    correlations.

    Common data visualization techniques

     Charts
     Plots
     Maps
     Diagrams and matrices & etc

    Charts

     This provides the easiest way of showing the development of either one or more data sets.
     There are different types of charts that you can use to visualize your data.
    o Bar and Line charts
     These explains the relationships between elements over time
    o Pie charts, this explains the proportions of the elements of one whole.

    Plots

     We can visualize the data in 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional.


     Plots help to distribute the data and display the relationship between the sets as well as
    their parameters on the plot.
     Different plots are,
    o Bubble plot
    o Scatter plot
    o Box plot
     It displays the relationships the large volumes of data

    Maps

     Maps are widely used in different types of industries.


     They allow the positioning of elements on relevant areas and objects-building plans,
    geographical maps, website layouts, etc.
     Different maps are,
    o Heat maps
    o Dot distribution maps

    Diagrams and Matrices

     A matrix is a technique for data visualization technique that helps in reflecting the
    correlations between multiple data sets that are updated constantly like in streaming.

    2. Exploring the Libraries

     In python we have different data visualization libraries are avaiable.


     All these are open source libraries
    o matplotlib
    o seaborn & etc

    Matplotlib

     Matplotlib is the most popular python plotting library.


     It has a module called pyplot that makes plotting easy by providing features for controlling
    font properties, line styles, formatting axes, etc.
     Matplotlib is very good for creating graphs like line charts, bar charts, histograms and
    many more.

    Matplotlib – Environment

     By default matplotlib will not come if we install python


     We need to install manually by using command.
     Open command prompt and execute below command

    matplotlib installation

    pip install matplotlib

    Seaborn

     This is a library used for data visualization and it is based on the Matplotlib library.
     With Seaborn, you can create charts.
     The tool provides its users with a lot of flexibility when creating plots since the user can
    choose from a wide range of plotting styles.
     The library is good at mapping the features to your data in an efficient manner.

    seaborn installation

    pip install seaborn
