Data Visualization: Getting Started with Plotly

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Plotly is Python's browser-based graphing library, which provides users with online graphing, analytics, and statistics tools. In this course, you'll explore how to use Plotly's declarative APIs to build interactive graphs and visualizations. You'll start this course by getting familiar with the components of the Plotly library. You'll identify the role of the high-level library (plotly.express) in creating visualizations and the low-level library (plotly.graph_objects) in creating granular customizations of your charts. Next, you'll investigate the use of box plots in visualizing the statistical properties of a continuous data series. You'll also discover how to represent additional categorical data by creating separate box plots and customizing their color. Finally, you'll examine how to implement a candlestick chart to reflect the trend of stock price performance over a period of time and visualize sequential data in a linear process using funnel charts.
