6. Making Things Interactive with Bokeh

Activity 6.01: Plotting Mean Car Prices of Manufacturers

Solution:

1. Create an Activity6.01.ipynb Jupyter notebook in the Chapter06/Activity6.01 folder.
2. Import the necessary libraries:

   import pandas as pd
   from bokeh.io import output_notebook
   output_notebook()

3. Load the automobiles.csv dataset from the Datasets folder:

   dataset = pd.read_csv('../../Datasets/automobiles.csv')

4. Use the head method to print the first five rows of the dataset:

   dataset.head()

   The following figure shows the output of the preceding code:

Figure 6.36: Loading the top five rows of the automobile dataset

Plotting each car with its price

1. Use the plotting interface of Bokeh to do some basic visualization first. Let's plot each car with its price. Import figure and show from the bokeh.plotting interface:

   from bokeh.plotting import figure, show

2. First, use the index as our x-axis since we just want to plot each car with its price...
