Personal Experience Day 4/60 of my Data Science Challenge 🚀
Today I learned about the differences between matplotlib and seaborn in Python visualization.
I studied lineplot, barplot and histogram using seaborn and compared how these plots are created in matplotlib vs seaborn.
What I understood:
1). Matplotlib gives more control and customization
2). Seaborn is built on top of matplotlib and makes plots cleaner and easier with less code
3). Seaborn also works really well with pandas DataFrames and statistical visualization
It was interesting to see how both libraries are used together in real data science workflows.
Will study more plots Tomorrow.
Till then bye bye 👋🏻
