Python & Matplotlib: Getting Started with Matplotlib for Data Visualization

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Matplotlib is a Python plotting library used to create dynamic visualizations using pyplot, a state-based interface. You'll learn how to correctly install and use Matplotlib to build line charts, bar charts, and histograms in this course. You'll create basic line charts out of randomly generated data. You'll learn how to use the plt.subplots() function, import data from a CSV file using pandas, and create and customize various line charts. Additionally, you'll create figures holding more than one axes object, learn why and how to use the twinx() function, and create multiple lines in the same line chart with different y-axes for each line.Moving on, you'll construct histograms that visualize multiple variables and approximate the cumulative probability density function. Lastly, you'll create some bar charts to represent categorical data.
