0:07
it makes very visually appealing plots with an easy to use API. It supports many plot types and one of the really nice things is that
0:17
they are interactive by default. The official documentation is good and thorough and saving images
0:23
multiple formats is very easy. From a cons perspective plotly express is continuing to evolve. Sometimes the API
0:30
Changes so that old examples may not be applicable anymore or can be done
0:36
more efficiently with new code. Some plots may need data manipulation to get them in
0:41
the right format for you to visualize them depending on the types of plots you want to do. But at the end of the day I think plotly is a
0:48
great tool for sophisticated exploratory analysis and then has that ability to customize it when you're
0:55
ready to present your results. It has very impressive interactivity and customization and a very I think simple and easy to use API
