PYTHON202: Data Visualisation in Python

Authors: Dr Anastasios Papaioannou
Course Duration: Half Day

Learn about Data Visualisation in Python using the matplotlib and seaborn libraries.

About this course

Python has deservedly become a popular language for scientific computing. It has all the friendly features and conveniences you’d expect of a modern programming language, and also a rich set of libraries for working with data.

In this workshop, you will explore different types of graphs and learn how to customise them using two of the most popular plotting libraries in Python, matplotlib and seaborn (Data Visualisation).

We teach using Jupyter notebooks, which allow program code, results, visualisations and documentation to be blended seamlessly. Perfect for sharing insights with others while producing reproducible research.

Join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation.

Learning Outcomes

  • Using the Grammar of Graphics to convert data into figures using the seaborn and matplotlib libraries
  • Configuring plot elements within seaborn and matplotlib
  • Exploring different types of plots using seaborn
