Introduction


In this chapter, we will create beautiful charts that visually represent data. Depending on the format of the data source, we can plot one or more columns of data in the same chart.

We will be using the Python Matplotlib module to create our charts.

In order to create these graphical charts, we need to download additional Python modules, and there are several ways to install them.

This chapter will explain how to download the Matplotlib Python module along with all other required Python modules and the ways to do this.

After we install the required modules, we will then create our own Pythonic charts.
