Key Concepts Explanation

Data Visualization Basics

Understand the fundamentals of data visualization and how it can help in interpreting complex datasets.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
plt.plot(data['x'], data['y'])
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
plt.title('Simple Line Plot')
plt.show()

Customizing Visualizations

Learn how to customize the aesthetics of your graphs, such as colors, labels, and styles.

plt.bar(data['categories'], data['values'], color='skyblue')
plt.xlabel('Categories')
plt.ylabel('Values')
plt.title('Bar Chart')
plt.show()
