#DataViz Decision-Making Guide

"How do you decide between #Plotly and #Seaborn?
* If you need interactive and dynamic visualizations, especially for dashboards or 3D data, Plotly is the way to go.
* If you’re focused on statistical analysis, creating publication-ready visuals, or conducting exploratory data analysis, Seaborn is likely your best choice."

or, where am I most likely to have my next croissant, assuming (something something) independence from my previous croissant. 🥐^k * e^(-🥐) / k!

2d kernel density estimation of the location of bakeries (blue) and farms (red) across France.

Locations taken from OpenStreetMap (considered paying attention to the size of the farm, but didn't), with #osmnx & plotted with #matplotlib & #seaborn. font: Borel, by Rosalie Wagner.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 2: Lines

Hey #spatial #R folks, is it possible to extract geometries from #ggplot as files? That is, the point, line, and polygon geometries in the graphs to #geopackage or #shapefile etc.

It is possible with #seaborn and #matplotlib, but that's Python not R. There's a nice and lightning fast #EdgeBundling technique in the newest ggplot, which is very promising for the #visualization of massive #mobility data.

There is also something in #HoloViews but I do not understand that library at all.

Late contribution to #TidyTuesday Canadian NHL Player Birth Dates. Trying to get back into the swing of #dataviz. 📊 🤩

Settled on a combination of stripplot, scatter and line to explore the average age of players over time. Looks like the league is getting a bit older overall.

Made in #python using #matplotlib and #seaborn, custom legend and managed to display a discontinued y-axis.

So far, I really like the (relatively) new #object-oriented interface for #Seaborn, one of my favorite #visualization libraries in #Python.

It feels much cleaner, more logical, more compact, and there is indeed less need to go down to #Matplotlib for many tweaks to a plot.

Documentation here: seaborn.pydata.org/tutorial/ob

Code and result for a very simple bar chart example below. Quite compact and very clean.

#Python is now officially supported in #Excel!

As much as I like to pretend that I dislike anything #Microsoft related (except VS Code, of course), I often find myself turning to Excel for small tasks, particularly when collaborating with non-coder colleagues. This new Python support, in particular the ability to represent ranges of Excel cells as #Pandas DataFrames, and use #Matplotlib and #Seaborn for plotting, could be a game change for these applications.
