Visualizations

February might be the shortest month, but it certainly didn’t feel this way here at TDS, where our authors have been on top of their game, sharing strong contributions on timely topics — including some of the longest and most-read articles of the year so far.Now that most of us have settled into the flow of things in 2024, we see our readers focus slightly less on career moves and more on core skills and concrete solutions to common issues. Our most-read and -discussed articles of the past month reflect that, and below…

Optimize your data science workflow by automating matplotlib output — with 1 line of code. Here’s how.Naming things is hard. After a long enough day, we’ve all ended up with the highly-descriptive likes of “graph7(1)_FINAL(2).png” and “output.pdf" Look familiar?We can do better — and quite easily, actually.When we use data-oriented “seaborn-esque” plotting mechanisms, the ingredients for a descriptive filename are all there. A typical call looks like this,sns.scatterplot(data=tips, x="total_bill",…

Using Python to visualize the changes in rank over timePhoto by Austris Augusts on UnsplashRanking data is ordering data position in a numerically ordered series. This is an easy way to communicate the information since it helps the reader effortlessly understand the sequence. The ranking is a good idea for coping with multiple observations or categorical data.However, things change all the time. As time pass, the position in ranking can be constantly altered. Visualizing positions of the ranks during a period helps…

Enhance your design thinking skills and productivity with PrototypingPhoto by Kaleidico on UnsplashThe ability to use visual imagery to narrate a powerful story and to provide actionable insights is both an art and a science. Though there are several business intelligence tools available for consumption, some data nerds prefer creating one-of-a-kind visualizations and charts to convey their stories. Many visualization experts out there prefer using open-source libraries in Javascript such as Chart.js and D3.js or using…
