Section 1.1: Seaborn

One of my personal favorites is Seaborn, a lightweight yet powerful charting library in Python. Installing this package is simple; just use the following command:

pip install seaborn

or

pip3 install seaborn

Creating charts with Seaborn is quite straightforward, and one of its standout features is the option to apply themes that enhance the aesthetics of our visualizations. It's certainly one of the go-to packages for data plotting in Python!

Section 1.2: Matplotlib

Next, we have Matplotlib, arguably one of the most widely-used packages in the Python ecosystem. To install Matplotlib, you can use:

python -m pip install -U matplotlib

This library shares many features with others on this list, but it likely boasts the largest community support.

Section 1.3: Plotly

Following that is Plotly, an open-source charting library for Python. You can install it using:

pip install plotly

or

pip3 install plotly

Plotly has a strong community backing as well, and one of its unique features is the ability to create dynamic tables alongside static visualizations!

Section 1.4: Bokeh

Lastly, we’ll discuss Bokeh, another fantastic library for data visualization in Python. To install Bokeh, simply use:

pip install bokeh

or

pip3 install bokeh

What I love about Bokeh is its capability to embed charts in web applications, making it easier to share and interact with your data. If you've ever used RShiny, you'll find Bokeh quite similar.
