The next visualization tool we looked at was Altair and this is where we start to
0:06
deviate from our matplot lib based plotting tools because Altair is based on a javascript framework, it also has a different
0:15
API with a combination of a shorthand and a long form approach to defining your data and your visualization.
0:23
The end result is that you can create many different kinds of visualizations with Altair, you can also add interactivity to your visualizations.
0:33
So from a recommendation perspective, I do like altair, it's a great tool for sophisticated exploratory and explanatory analysis.
0:41
It's good for you to take some time and play around with the API. And start to understand that there is great documentation,
0:49
so pretty much any kind of visualization you want to create. You can create with Altair and I think at the end of the day after you
0:56
play with it, if Altair makes sense to you and you can create the visualizations
1:01
that you want with altair, it's a great choice for data visualization in the python ecosystem
