Time Series Plots are line plots with x-axis being date time instead of regular quantitative or ordered categorical variable. Sometimes you might want to highlight a region on a time series plot. In this post, we will learn how to highlight a time interval with a rectangular colored block in Python using Matplotlib. Let us… Continue reading How To Highlight a Time Range in Time Series Plot in Python with Matplotlib?

Overlapping Histograms with Matplotlib in Python
Histograms are one of the most common ways to visualize the distribution of data. While a single histogram shows the shape of one variable, often we want to compare two or more distributions directly. In this post, we’ll learn how to plot multiple overlapping histograms using Matplotlib in Python. Setup: Import Libraries We’ll use matplotlib.pyplot… Continue reading Overlapping Histograms with Matplotlib in Python
Matplotlib Bar Plot in Python: Sort (Asc/Desc), Add Labels, Colors, Currency Axis & Horizontal Bars
Why Sorting and Customizing Bar Plots Matters? Most bar charts need two upgrades to be useful: (1) put the categories in a meaningful order (ascending/descending), and (2) add polish (value labels, colors, readable axes, or horizontal layout for long names). This tutorial shows how to do all of that—starting with sorting—and then layering on practical… Continue reading Matplotlib Bar Plot in Python: Sort (Asc/Desc), Add Labels, Colors, Currency Axis & Horizontal Bars
How To Make Bubble Plot in Python with Matplotlib?
In this post, we will learn how to make bubbleplots using Matplotlib in Python. Bubble plot is a scatterplot, but with size of the data point on the scatter plot is coded by another variable. Basically, if the third variable is larger you get a bigger circle filled with a color i.e. bigger bubble and… Continue reading How To Make Bubble Plot in Python with Matplotlib?
Simple Scatter Plot with Matplotlib in Python
Matplotlib is one of the most popular plotting libraries in Python. As the name kind of hints, Matplotlib is bases on MATLAB style interface offers powerful functions to make versatile plots with Python. In this post, we will see examples of simple scatter plot with Matplotlib’s module pyplot. Let us first load the libraries needed.… Continue reading Simple Scatter Plot with Matplotlib in Python
