 Data visualization

• Data visualization is the graphical representation of information and

data. By using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps, data
visualization tools provide an accessible way to see and understand
trends, outliers, and patterns in data.
• In the world of Big Data, data visualization tools and technologies are
essential to analyze massive amounts of information and make data-
driven decisions.
 Data visualization
More specific examples of methods to visualize data:
•Area Chart
•Bar Chart
•Box-and-whisker Plots
•Bubble Cloud
•Bullet Graph
•Cartogram
•Circle View
•Dot Distribution Map
•Gantt Chart
•Heat Map
Common general types of •Highlight Table
data visualization: •Histogram
•Charts •Matrix
•Network
•Tables •Polar Area
•Graphs •Radial Tree
•Maps •Scatter Plot (2D or 3D)
•Infographics •Streamgraph
•Text Tables
•Dashboards •Timeline
•Treemap
•Wedge Stack Graph
•Word Cloud
 Data visualization for human perception

• As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”; this is true

when a story is told graphically, with a strong design, instead of
verbally. For example, you could stare at a table of numbers all day
and never see what would otherwise be very obvious to notice while
looking at the same numbers graphically well represented.
 Data visualization for human perception

• Data visualizations are so effective because they shift the balance between
perception and cognition to take better advantage of the brain’s abilities.
• Seeing (visual perception), which is handled by the visual cortex located in
the rear of the brain, is extremely fast and efficient.
• Thinking (cognition), on the other hand, which is handled predominantly
by the cerebral cortex in the front of the brain, is much slower and less
efficient.
• This means traditional data sense-making and presentation methods require
conscious thinking for almost all of the work. However, data visualization
shifts the balance towards significant use of visual perception, taking
advantage of our eyes and speed of seeing.

browsers for representation. This is the core difference between Bokeh
and other visualization libraries.
Benefits of Bokeh:
•Bokeh allows you to build complex statistical plots quickly and through simple commands
•Bokeh provides you output in various medium like html, notebook and server
•We can also embed Bokeh visualization to flask and django app
•Bokeh can transform visualization written in other libraries like matplotlib, seaborn, ggplot
•Bokeh has flexibility for applying interaction, layouts and different styling option to visualization
