Warm recommendations for #plotnine for #python visualisation: it's feels a bit like emacs in that it takes time to grok its mental model, certainly if, like me you have no previous experience with its ancestor ggplot. But in the end it just does the job.

I was going to sit down and learn the {plotnine} python library today, but turns out there's nothing really to learn—it's literally {ggplot2} code wrapped in parentheses. If you know {ggplot2} in R, turns out you also know how to make plots on Python!

The recording of my PyData Global talk about data visualisation with Plotnine in #Python is now available! 🐍

Give it a watch if you're interested in:

📊 customising plotnine plots
📈 combining with matplotlib functions
✍️ adding custom annotations with HighlightText

(or if you're an #RStats user wondering about Plotnine vs #ggplot2)

Practical Techniques for Polished Visuals with Plotnine PyData Global 2024

Plotnine is a data visualisation library that brings the Grammar of Graphics to Python, enabling users to build complex plots layer by layer. No background knowledge of plotnine is required, and the talk will begin with a brief introduction to the syntax of plotnine. The remainder of this talk will guide attendees through the process of customising plots to take them from the basic, default settings to high quality, effective visuals. Using an area chart displaying time series data as an example, this talk will focus on techniques for customising and annotating plots to highlight important insights. It will also show you how to exploit the fact that plotnine is built on top of matplotlib - enabling the use of a much wider range of libraries! This talk is designed to help data scientists and analysts improve their data storytelling skills by making their charts not only informative but visually engaging.
