Chapter 5. Making Sense of Data Using Visualization
Julia doesn't have a visualization/graphics package in the core system. Therefore, without adding and loading a package, it is not possible to create the desired visualizations on the datasets.
By not including the visualization package, Julia keeps the core system clean so that different types of backends such, as Qt and GTK on different operating systems, don't interfere with the builds.
In this chapter, we will be learning how to visualize data and how visualization helps to understand the data at a glance. We will be covering the following packages:
- PyPlot
- Unicodeplots
- Vega
- Gadfly
The plot function is a common function used by the packages to plot a graph. When we have loaded multiple plotting libraries, which plot function will be used?
