Python with Altair: Plotting Fundamental Graphs

This course will introduce you to a breadth of charts available in Altair and how you can use them to get an all-round understanding of your data. The focus is to get you familiar with the wide variety of graphs that are available. Youll begin by visualizing a distribution of numeric values using box plots and violin charts each of which has its own strengths and limitations when analyzing distributions. Youll then move on to bar charts to analyze numbers associated with categories in your data. While doing so you will get to explore a variety of aggregate operations that are available in Altair in order to calculate a sum mean median and so on. Youll then use line charts to visualize the changes in a particular value over a period of time and also its related visual – the area chart. Finally youll produce scatter plots to visualize the relationship between a pair of fields in your data. Throughout this course youll delve into a number of customizations which are available in Altair for each of the graphs which you plot.
