Top Python Libraries for Data Visualization

In Python, there are many libraries available for data visualization. Here are some of the most popular and commonly used ones:

Matplotlib:

The most basic and versatile library for creating 2D plots. Ideal for simple line plots, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, etc.

Seaborn:

Built on top of Matplotlib, but offers more advanced and aesthetically pleasing plots. Easy to use for creating complex statistical visualizations.

Plotly:

A library for creating interactive plots that can be easily embedded in web applications. Supports a wide range of charts, including 3D plots.

Bokeh:

Allows the creation of interactive visualizations that can be embedded in web browsers. Easy to integrate with web applications.

Altair:

A declarative library for creating interactive plots. Based on the Vega and Vega-Lite languages, allowing for simple and concise specification of plots.

ggplot:

Inspired by the popular ggplot2 library from R. Allows for the creation of plots using the “grammar of graphics” approach.

Pandas Visualization:

Built-in visualization capabilities within the Pandas library. A simple and quick method for creating plots directly from DataFrame and Series objects.

Holoviews:

Enables the creation of declarative visualizations. Integrates with Bokeh, Matplotlib, and Plotly.

Geopandas:

Extends Pandas to support geographic data. Allows for the creation of maps and geographic visualizations.
