Conversion Guide R Python Data Visualization

This document provides a summary of converting data visualization between R and Python. It lists the basic plot types in R and their equivalent commands in Python, including scatter plots, line plots, bar charts, box plots, and heatmaps. It also describes how to add additional elements to plots like vertical and horizontal lines, rectangles, and text. Parameters for the plotting commands that control aspects like color, size, transparency, and line style are also summarized.
