Useful Python Libraries

NumPy pandas matplotlib seaborn bokeh

10
NumPy

§ Fundamental package for scientific computing


§ Exceptionally fast – written in C
§ Main data structure:
• ndarray : n-dimensional arrays of homogeneous data types
§ Data manipulation ≈ NumPy array manipulation
§ Used in other libraries - Matplotlib, pandas, scikit- learn

Link: NumPy for MATLAB USERS

11
Pandas

§ Fundamental tool for handling and analyzing input data


§ Particularly suited for tabular data
§ Implements powerful data operations
§ Main data structures:
• DataFrame: A table with rows and columns
• Series: A single column

12
Matplotlib

§ Used for basic plotting


§ Highly customizable
§ Works with NumPy and pandas

13
Seaborn

§ Used for statistical data visualization


§ Uses fewer syntax with good default themes
§ Integrated to work great with pandas data-frame
§ Uses Matplotlib under the hood

14
Bokeh

§ Used for interactive visualization


§ Requires modern web browsers
§ Integrates with JavaScript

15
What is Bokeh used for?

§ Build Data Applications


§ Interactively Explore Data
§ Publish Dashboards
§ Visualize Streaming Data
§ Add content to Web Pages

16
Build Data Applications

17
Interactively Explore Data

18
Publish Dashboards

19
Visualize Streaming Data

20
Add content to Web Pages

21
Basic Interactive Tools

§ Gesture Tools:
• pan, drag, pinch, scroll

§ Action Tools:
• redo, reset, save, zoom in

§ Inspector Tools:
• hover, crosshair

22
Linking
Link plots to add connected interactivity between plots

§ Linked Panning
• Link pan or zooming actions across many
plots

§ Linked Brushing
• Shared data sources between renderers

§ Linked Properties
• Link values of model properties together
so that they remain synchronized

23
Interactive Legend
Bokeh plots can be made interactive so that clicking or tapping on the
legend entries will hide or mute the entries

24
Widgets
Widgets are interactive controls that can be added to Bokeh applications to
provide a front end user interface to a visualization.

§ Computations
§ Update Plots
§ Connect to other programmatic functionality
§ Examples: checkbox, sliders, table, tabs,
dropdown, multi-choice, radio-buttons

25
Widget Callbacks
To use widgets, add them to the document and define their callbacks.

§ CustomJS callback
§ Event Handlers:
• Python functions that can be attached to widgets.
• Called when certain attributes on the widget are
changed.
§ Attached using: on_change, on_click, etc.
