Unkit 5 Matplotlib 1

Matplotlib is a Python plotting library that enhances data visualization, making complex data more accessible and understandable. It consists of three architectural layers: Backend, Artist, and Scripting, each serving distinct functions for plotting and rendering. Data visualization through Matplotlib aids in identifying trends, patterns, and relationships in data, ultimately facilitating better decision-making in business contexts.

Matplotlib (Python Plotting Library)

Human minds are more adaptive for the visual representation of data
rather than textual data. We can easily understand things when they are
visualized. It is better to represent the data through the graph where we
can analyze the data more efficiently and make the specific decision
according to data analysis. Before learning the matplotlib, we need to
understand data visualization and why data visualization is important.

Data Visualization

Graphics provides an excellent approach for exploring the data, which is


essential for presenting results. Data visualization is a new term. It
expresses the idea that involves more than just representing data in the
graphical form (instead of using textual form).

This can be very helpful when discovering and getting to know a dataset
and can help with classifying patterns, corrupt data, outliers, and much
more. With a little domain knowledge, data visualizations can be used to
express and demonstrate key relationships in plots and charts. The static
does indeed focus on quantitative description and estimations of data. It
provides an important set of tools for gaining a qualitative understanding.

There are five key plots that are used for data visualization.

There are five phases which are essential to make the decision for the
organization:

o Visualize: We analyze the raw data, which means it makes


complex data more accessible, understandable, and more usable.
Tabular data representation is used where the user will look up a
specific measurement, while the chart of several types is used to
show patterns or relationships in the data for one or more variables.
o Analysis: Data analysis is defined as cleaning, inspecting,
transforming, and modeling data to derive useful information.
Whenever we make a decision for the business or in daily life, is by
past experience. What will happen to choose a particular
decision, it is nothing but analyzing our past. That may be affected
in the future, so the proper analysis is necessary for better decisions
for any business or organization.
o Document Insight: Document insight is the process where the
useful data or information is organized in the document in the
standard format.
o Transform Data Set: Standard data is used to make the decision
more effectively.

Why need data visualization?

Data visualization can perform below tasks:

o It identifies areas that need improvement and attention.


o It clarifies the factors.
o It helps to understand which product to place where.
o Predict sales volumes.

Benefit of Data Visualization


Here are some benefits of the data visualization, which helps to make an
effective decision for the organizations or business:

1. Building ways of absorbing information


Data visualization allows users to receive vast amounts of information
regarding operational and business conditions. It helps decision-makers to
see the relationship between multi-dimensional data sets. It offers new
ways to analyses data through the use of maps, fever charts, and other
rich graphical representations.

Visual data discovery is more likely to find the information that the
organization needs and then end up with being more productive than
other competitive companies.

2. Visualize relationship and patterns in Businesses

The crucial advantage of data visualization is that it is essential to find the


correlation between operating conditions and business performance in
today's highly competitive business environment.

The ability to make these types of correlations enables the executives to


identify the root cause of the problem and act quickly to resolve it.

Suppose a food company is looking their monthly customer data, and the
data is presented with bar charts, which shows that the company's score
has dropped by five points in the previous months in that particular
region; the data suggest that there's a problem with customer satisfaction
in this area.

3. Take action on the emerging trends faster

Data visualization allows the decision-maker to grasp shifts in customer


behavior and market conditions across multiple data sets more efficiently.

Having an idea about the customer's sentiments and other data discloses
an emerging opportunity for the company to act on new business
opportunities ahead of their competitor.

4. Geological based Visualization


Geo-spatial visualization is occurred due to many websites providing web-
services, attracting visitor's interest. These types of websites are required
to take benefit of location-specific information, which is already present in
the customer details.

Matplotlib Architecture
There are three different layers in the architecture of the matplotlib which
are the following:

o Backend Layer
o Artist layer
o Scripting layer

Backend layer

The backend layer is the bottom layer of the figure, which consists of the
implementation of the various functions that are necessary for plotting.
There are three essential classes from the backend
layer FigureCanvas(The surface on which the figure will be
drawn), Renderer(The class that takes care of the drawing on the
surface), and Event(It handle the mouse and keyboard events).

Artist Layer

The artist layer is the second layer in the architecture. It is responsible for
the various plotting functions, like axis, which coordinates on how to use
the renderer on the figure canvas.

Scripting layer

The scripting layer is the topmost layer on which most of our code will run.
The methods in the scripting layer, almost automatically take care of the
other layers, and all we need to care about is the current state (figure &
subplot).

The General Concept of Matplotlib


A Matplotlib figure can be categorized into various parts as below:
Figure: It is a whole figure which may hold one or more axes (plots). We
can think of a Figure as a canvas that holds plots.

Axes: A Figure can contain several Axes. It consists of two or three (in the
case of 3D) Axis objects. Each Axes is comprised of a title, an x-label, and
a y-label.

Axis: Axises are the number of line like objects and responsible for
generating the graph limits.

Artist: An artist is the all which we see on the graph like Text objects,
Line2D objects, and collection objects. Most Artists are tied to Axes.
