Python Data Visualization Cookbook (Second Edition)

Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Key benefits

  • Learn how to set up an optimal Python environment for data visualization
  • Understand how to import, clean and organize your data
  • Determine different approaches to data visualization and how to choose the most appropriate for your needs

Description

Python Data Visualization Cookbook will progress the reader from the point of installing and setting up a Python environment for data manipulation and visualization all the way to 3D animations using Python libraries. Readers will benefit from over 60 precise and reproducible recipes that will guide the reader towards a better understanding of data concepts and the building blocks for subsequent and sometimes more advanced concepts. Python Data Visualization Cookbook starts by showing how to set up matplotlib and the related libraries that are required for most parts of the book, before moving on to discuss some of the lesser-used diagrams and charts such as Gantt Charts or Sankey diagrams. Initially it uses simple plots and charts to more advanced ones, to make it easy to understand for readers. As the readers will go through the book, they will get to know about the 3D diagrams and animations. Maps are irreplaceable for displaying geo-spatial data, so this book will also show how to build them. In the last chapter, it includes explanation on how to incorporate matplotlib into different environments, such as a writing system, LaTeX, or how to create Gantt charts using Python.

Who is this book for?

If you already know about Python programming and want to understand data, data formats, data visualization, and how to use Python to visualize data then this book is for you.

What you will learn

The title of this book includes the word "cookbook" and as a cookbook the book contains a plenty of practical recipes of data visualization in Python. It presents not a mere description of Python packages and commands related to visualization, but embeds these tools into real-world scenarios. Not only visualization itself but also data manipulation enabling insightful visualization are discussed in detail. Needless to say, the discussion of every topic is accompanied by ready-to-use Python code.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my review. I think this is a great book. The examples for the different plotting methods and customizations all worked. The first chapter describe set-up and code samples for using data in different formats. I remember when I was first given the task to add a chart to a report to represent data and how it took me a minute to ensure I was doing things correctly. This book would helped me a great deal at that time. Many questions I had previously about plotting and correctly coding solutions for charts I haven't been asked to make yet, were answered. I have been creating reports and charts for a University Research team and this book has been a godsend. I think this book would have helped me when I was working using java for reports and charts. I just this is a great book.

Please don"t get me wrong, the book is quite useful and it"s quite frankly more handy for me to look things up in a book than on the internet.But in essence, all the information is freely available on the internet and therefore the book is very, very expensive for a black-and-white handbook!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
