Plotting in Python

Masterclass

Plotting in Python

This is a highly applied session that is better explored out using your own computer and the code provided. This report is just a quikc intro for the code you can find on our GitHub. There you can find everything you need to do some very basic to advanced python plotting. You can download this repository to your computer using

git clone https://github.com/dtc-coding-dojo/main/tree/master/week_4_plotting

and start playing around with it. The code can be run as it is, but I would encourage you to comment out some of the lines ( with a # sign) to see what every line is doing. The progression is supposed to be plotting.py first, then 3dplotting.py, and finally seaborn_plotting.py. For everyone who wants to do still more advanced plotting you can check out these links to find some descriptions about the interactive plotting plotly (try turning around the plots or zooming in with your mouse):

Wind Rose Charts

Animations

Looking at the Human Brain

3D surface plots

3D scatter plots

Ribbon plots

3D network graph

Have fun exploring!
