Tutorial How to create stunning visualization using Python?

A step-by-step guide about building visualization using python from scratch. The article starts with building a basic chart using matplotlib and using the functionalities of matplotlib to customize the chart and also covers the use of the seaborn library and ends with building an interactive chart

Here is the article - https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-do-visualization-using-python-from-scratch-651304b5ee7a

Edit: (Please don't click the link above before reading below)

Wow! so much downvote because of the image coming up along with the post. To clarify the image is automatically picked up from the article. This article is intended for "beginners only" to create a good visualization using python, I hope I did my bit in providing the explanation in the post above and hope it will serve the purpose for the targeted users. Tbh, It was not intended to be a clickbait.

P.S. Still couldn't figure out if I can remove the image from coming up

Tbh feeling kinda baited. The article introduced fairly basic plotting methods thats no where near the advanced look the first image showed.

The first picture origins from "unsplash", an image database.

The first image suggests "stunning" visualizations. It should be in line with what you show in the article.

This is basic and has a clickbait title. This is ONLY good for someone new to python and data analysis. Because if my charts looked like this, I’d stick to Tableau.

Like you could have introduced Plotly or one of the other dashboard libraries to replicate what’s in your header image.

Great, but saying it's "from scratch" and then using matplotlib? I guess from scratch means something else to me

I guess using it's deeper than that. From extracting the silicon yourself to constructing the body, source and drain

I guess deeper, like mining the coal to run the furnace where you deposit the silica sand, meanwhile you make a underground house with a pool.
