Machine Learning Udemy Bootcamp 06 - Plotly & Cufflinks

Plotly (https://plot.ly/)

It's an open-source interactive visualization library.
They have a cloud service, to host your interactive plots online.
Plotly exposes offline functionality for local usage.

conda install plotly
pip install plotly

Cufflinks

It connects plotly with pandas

conda install cufflinks
pip install cufflinks

Get started

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import cufflinks as cf
import plotly as py
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
%matplotlib inline

# init javascript for notebook
init_notebook_mode(connected=True)
cf.go_offline()

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(100, 4), columns='A B C D'.split())
df.iplot()

Scatter plot

df.iplot(kind='scatter', x='A', y='B', mode='markers', size=10)

Bar plot

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'Category': ['A', 'B', 'C'], 'Values': [32, 43, 50]})
df2.iplot(kind='bar', x='Category', y='Values')

Box plot

df.iplot(kind='box')

3D Surface plot

df3 = pd.DataFrame({'x': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 'y': [10, 20, 30, 20, 10], 'z': [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]})
df3.iplot(kind='surface', colorscale='rdylbu')

Spread plot

df[['A', 'B']].iplot(kind='spread')

Histogram

df['A'].iplot(kind='hist', bins=25)

Bubble plot

df.iplot(kind='bubble', x='A', y='B', size='C')

Scatter matrix

df.scatter_matrix()
