Turn DataFrames into clear charts. Plot straight from pandas with .plot(), pick the right chart for the question, label charts so they explain themselves, and use Matplotlib's figure and axes for side-by-side charts and finer control.
By the end of today you can
- Draw line, bar, horizontal bar, histogram and scatter charts with df.plot()
- Pick the right chart type for a question
- Add titles, axis labels and sensible ordering so a chart explains itself
- Use Matplotlib's figure and axes to draw several charts side by side
- Avoid common chart mistakes such as truncated bar axes
