If you're somewhat new to this space, I want to talk about one other topic that's really powerful and useful in the tools
0:07
that will be covering. And that's the concept of small multiple plots. And this is basically just a way of putting a whole bunch of small graphs or
0:17
charts together in one place using similar axes and scales so that you can identify trends
0:23
This example from Seaborne shows how you can quickly look at this data and identify
0:30
some of the outliers because there are so many charts condensed into a small space. This term is sometimes called a trellis chart,
0:38
a lattice chart, a grid chart, panel chart or facet grid. So as you can see, there's a lot of different terms,
0:45
but each of the visualization libraries that we're gonna talk about allows us to do this
0:49
and I wanted to raise the concept now so that as we start to dive into the modules, you have some exposure to it and understand what it is.

We're trying to accomplish with these types of charts.
