Introduction to Data Visualization with Matplotlib

pdf

1. Pyplot Interface Introduction:

   import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
   plt.ylabel('some numbers')
   plt.show()
   

2. Adding Data to Axes:

   plt.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60])
   plt.ylabel('Average Temp')
   plt.show()
   

3. Combining Multiple Data Sets:

   plt.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60], label='Seattle')
   plt.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [30, 35, 40, 50], label='New York')
   plt.ylabel('Temp')
   plt.legend()
   plt.show()
   

4. Customizing Plots:

   plt.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60], linestyle='--', color='r', marker='o')
   plt.ylabel('Temp')
   plt.show()
   

5. Axes Labels and Titles:

   plt.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60])
   plt.xlabel('Month')
   plt.ylabel('Temp')
   plt.title('Monthly Temp in Seattle')
   plt.show()
   

6. Creating Subplots:

   fig, ax = plt.subplots()
   ax.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60])
   plt.show()
   

7. Subplots Customization:

   fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2)
   ax1.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [40, 42, 50, 60])
   ax2.plot(['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr'], [30, 35, 40, 50])
   plt.show()
   

Time-series Data with Matplotlib

#timeseries pdf

To create a DataFrame for climate_change, you can follow a structure similar to this:

import pandas as pd

# Sample data structure
data = {
    "date": ["2020-01-01", "2020-01-02", "2020-01-03", ...],
    "co2": [414.7, 415.0, 415.3, ...],
    "relative_temp": [0.25, 0.27, 0.29, ...]
}

climate_change = pd.DataFrame(data)
climate_change['date'] = pd.to_datetime(climate_change['date'])
climate_change.set_index('date', inplace=True)

Replace the ellipses (...) with your actual data. This code sets up a DataFrame with date, CO2, and temperature data, converting the date column to a datetime format and setting it as the index, which is typical for time-series data.

1. Plotting Basic Time-series Data:

   import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   ax.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change['co2'])
   ax.set_xlabel('Time')
   ax.set_ylabel('CO2 (ppm)')
   plt.show()
   

2. Zooming into Specific Time Frames:

   • Decade Zoom:

     sixties = climate_change["1960-01-01":"1969-12-31"]
     ax.plot(sixties.index, sixties['co2'])
     

   • Year Zoom:

     sixty_nine = climate_change["1969-01-01":"1969-12-31"]
     ax.plot(sixty_nine.index, sixty_nine['co2'])
     

3. Plotting Multiple Time-series Together:

   ax.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change["co2"])
   ax.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change["relative_temp"])
   

4. Using Twin Axes for Different Variables:

   ax2 = ax.twinx()
   ax2.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change["relative_temp"])
   

5. Differentiating Variables by Color:

   ax.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change["co2"], color='blue')
   ax2.plot(climate_change.index, climate_change["relative_temp"], color='red')
   

6. Customizing Annotations on Time-series Plots:

   • Basic Annotation:

     ax2.annotate(">1 degree", xy=[pd.Timestamp("2015-10-06"), 1])
     

   • With Text Positioning and Arrows:

     ax2.annotate(">1 degree", xy=(pd.Timestamp('2015-10-06'), 1), xytext=(pd.Timestamp('2008-10-06'), -0.2), arrowprops={})
     

7. Creating a Function for Time-series Plotting:

   def plot_timeseries(axes, x, y, color, xlabel, ylabel):
       axes.plot(x, y, color=color)
       axes.set_xlabel(xlabel)
       axes.set_ylabel(ylabel, color=color)
   

Each section provides practical instructions and code snippets for effectively visualizing and analyzing time-series data using Matplotlib in Python.

Quantitative Comparisons: Bar-Charts

!chapter3 (3).pdf

1. Olympic Medals Data: Presents a dataset on Olympic medals and demonstrates basic bar chart plotting.
2. Rotating Tick Labels: Shows how to rotate axis labels for clarity.
3. Visualizing Multiple Medal Types: Explains stacking bars for different medal types (Gold, Silver, Bronze).
4. Adding a Legend: Illustrates how to add a legend to distinguish between different bars.
5. Histograms: Discusses creating histograms to represent distribution of data.
6. Error Bars in Bar Charts: Teaches how to add error bars to bar charts for statistical representation.
7. Boxplots: Describes creating boxplots for data distribution analysis.
8. Scatter Plots: Introduces scatter plots for comparing two quantitative variables.

Here are example codes for each key point from "Quantitative Comparisons: Bar-Charts":

1. Olympic Medals Data:

   medals.plot(kind='bar')
   

2. Rotating Tick Labels:

   plt.xticks(rotation=45)
   

3. Visualizing Multiple Medal Types:

   medals.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True)
   

4. Adding a Legend:

   plt.legend()
   

5. Histograms:

   plt.hist(data)
   

6. Error Bars in Bar Charts:

   plt.bar(x, height, yerr=error)
   

7. Boxplots:

   data.boxplot()
   

8. Scatter Plots:

   plt.scatter(x, y)
   

These examples provide a basic structure for each type of plot, which you can adapt and expand upon based on your specific data and visualization needs.
