Lesson overview¶

During this week, we will introduce you to data visualization and some different modules that can be used to make data plots in Python. You can create simple plots directly from Pandas, for example, but in order to control many aspects of those plots we need to also know how to use the plotting module called Matplotlib. Matplotlib is an extremely powerful and flexible plotting module, and as you will see.

Learning goals¶

After this weeks lesson your should be able to:

Make basic x-y plots of data using Pandas/Matplotlib
Manipulate plot formats
Create plots in Jupyter notebooks or save them as separate image files
