Summary

Histograms, boxplots, scatter plots, violin plots, line plots, and heat maps are all essential tools for understanding how variables are distributed. Scatter plots, violin plots, and heat maps can also help us better understand relationships between variables, whether they are continuous or categorical. We created visualizations with all of those tools in this chapter. In the next chapter, we will examine how to create new Series in pandas, or modify values in an existing Series.
