Summary
In this chapter, we learned how interactive data visualizations are a step ahead of static data visualizations due to their ability to respond to human inputs in real time. The range of applications of interactive data visualizations is vast, and we can visualize almost any type of data interactively.
The human inputs that can be incorporated in interactive data visualizations include, but are not limited to, sliders, zoom features, hover tools, and clickable parameters. Bokeh
and Plotly
Express
are two of the most popular and easy Python libraries that create interactive data visualizations. In the next chapter, we will look at how to create beautiful context-based interactive data visualizations.
