DATA VISUALIZATION

Dr. P. Getzi Jeba


Assistant Professor / CSE
TYPES OF VISUALIZATION

There are five key plots in data visualization. They are:

• Line Plot
• Bar Chart
• Histogram Plot
• Box and Whisker Plot
• Scatter Plot
LINE PLOT
A line plot is generally used to present observations collected at regular intervals.

from numpy import sin


from matplotlib import pyplot
# consistent interval for x-axis
x = [x*0.1 for x in range(100)]
# function of x for y-axis
y = sin(x)
# create line plot
pyplot.plot(x, y)
# show line plot
pyplot.show()
BAR CHART
A bar chart is generally used to present relative quantities for multiple categories.

from random import seed


from random import randint
from matplotlib import pyplot
# seed the random number generator
seed(1)
# names for categories
x = ['red', 'green', 'blue']
# quantities for each category
y = [randint(0, 100), randint(0, 100), randint(0, 100)]
# create bar chart
pyplot.bar(x, y)
# show line plot
pyplot.show()
HISTOGRAM
A histogram plot is generally used to summarize the distribution of a data sample.

# example of a histogram plot


from numpy.random import seed
from numpy.random import randn
from matplotlib import pyplot
# seed the random number generator
seed(1)
# random numbers drawn from a Gaussian distribution
x = randn(1000)
# create histogram plot
pyplot.hist(x)
# show line plot
pyplot.show()

• Histograms are used to show distributions of variables while bar charts are used to
compare variables.

• Histograms plot quantitative data with ranges of the data grouped into bins or intervals
while bar charts plot categorical data.
• Bars can be reordered in bar charts but not in histograms.
BOX or WHISKER PLOT
• A box and whisker plot, or boxplot for short, is generally used to summarize the
distribution of a data sample.
• Box plots show the five-number summary of a set of data: including the minimum score,
first (lower) quartile, median, third (upper) quartile, and maximum score.

BOX or WHISKER PLOT
A box and whisker plot, or boxplot for short, is generally used to summarize the distribution of
a data sample.

# example of a box and whisker plot


from numpy.random import seed
from numpy.random import randn
from matplotlib import pyplot
# seed the random number generator
seed(1)
# random numbers drawn from a Gaussian distribution
x = [randn(1000), 5 * randn(1000), 10 * randn(1000)]
# create box and whisker plot
pyplot.boxplot(x)
# show line plot
pyplot.show()
SCATTER PLOT
A scatter plot (or ‘scatterplot’) is generally used to summarize the relationship between two
paired data samples.

from numpy.random import seed


from numpy.random import randn
from matplotlib import pyplot
# seed the random number generator
seed(1)
# first variable
x = 20 * randn(1000) + 100
# second variable
y = x + (10 * randn(1000) + 50)
# create scatter plot
pyplot.scatter(x, y, )
# show line plot
pyplot.show()
