Hello, my dear friends.



2

00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:08,090

So in this lesson, we're going to learn a little bit about data visualization in Python with matplotlib.



3

00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:09,740

So let's start.



4

00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,380

First off, what is matplotlib?



5

00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:21,180

So Matplotlib is one of the most popular python packages used for data visualization.



6

00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:28,000

It's a cross platform library for making 2D plots from data in arrays.



7

00:00:29,270 --> 00:00:34,490

But first, do we really need to know what data visualization is?



8

00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:35,780

Of course you do.



9

00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:36,680

Of course you want to know.



10

00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:46,730

Data visualization basically organizes complex and scattered data to make it easy to understand and



11

00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:49,700

interpret with visual clues.



12

00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:58,220

So in other words, data visualization is a task of visualizing and concretizing perhaps abstract data



13

00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:00,320

and obtaining preliminary information.



14

00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,480

Now, of course, there are some points that we're going to need to pay attention to when visualizing



15

00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,820

data and I'll lay them out here.



16

00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:10,560

Color matching.



17

00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:13,260

We can use color palettes for this.



18

00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:17,140

I want you to remember, be simple.



19

00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,990

Remember, kiss ISIS.



20

00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:21,430

Keep it simple, stupid.



21

00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,540

Now, choosing the right chart type is important.



22

00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,350

The graph should be understandable.



23

00:01:33,620 --> 00:01:35,360

Correct placement of numbers.



24

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,980

So now let's go back to Matplotlib.



25

00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:45,740

Matplotlib is written in Python and makes use of numpty.



26

00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:48,740

And yeah, I know numpties everywhere.



27

00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:50,330

Where else would you want it to be?



28

00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:58,400

Matplotlib can be used in Python ie python shells, Jupiter Notebook, which is, of course, our favorite



29

00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:01,280

and Web application servers also.



30

00:02:02,350 --> 00:02:03,970

All right, now I got you excited.



31

00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:06,670

How do we install Matplotlib on our computer?



32

00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:12,610

Now, we installed Anakonda at the beginning of the course, if you can remember back that far.



33

00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:15,460

And that means we've already installed matplotlib.



34

00:02:16,210 --> 00:02:21,700

But if you don't have to have matplotlib or you deleted it, for some reason, you can use the PIPP



35

00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:22,300

command.



36

00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:33,360

You can type in PIP, install matplotlib on your terminal or on your command console, your operating



37

00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:35,490

system will automatically install it.



38

00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,190

And now everything is ready.



39

00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:46,110

Boom.



40

00:02:46,130 --> 00:02:46,760

And that's it.



41

00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:48,980

That's it for this lesson anyway.



42

00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,890

We talked about matplotlib and data visualization, and in our next lesson, we're going to start to



43

00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:56,120

use matplotlib.



44

00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:58,820

So that means I want to see you in that next lesson.



45

00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,250

Have a nice day.
