Learning Python Data Visualization

Overview

The best applications use data and present it in a meaningful, easy-to-understand way. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language that's well suited to both object-oriented application development as well as functional design patterns, and can generate dynamic charts on the fly using real-time data. Python, with its graphics and charting libraries, can help you move your data-driven application projects to the next level.

Packed with sample code and tutorials, this book will walk you through installation of common charting, graphics, and utility libraries for the Python programming language. You will learn how to build simple graphics and charts that will allow you to generate HTML5-ready SVG charts and graphs. It will also cover parsing data from the Web and offline sources, and building a Python charting application using dynamic data. Lastly, we will review other popular tools and frameworks used to create charts and import/export chart data. By the end of this book, you will be able to represent complex sets of data using Python.
