In this final section, you will use the features that you learned about in this chapter to create a scatterplot and compared the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capital and the Human Development Index (HDI) of several countries. This is a step-by-step tutorial. We will start with a simple chart and add axes, labels, and interactive features. You can code as you go or download the files that are available from the StepByStep/ folder, in the GitHub repository for this chapter.
The CSV data file that's used for this visualization (Data/un_regions_gdp.csv) contains data that was obtained from several sources, such as the United Nations and the World Bank. Both the HDI and GDP are from 2017, so they can be compared. The following is a fragment of this file, showing the headers and some rows of data:
