Abstract
Data visualization consists of different steps like understanding data and identifying the right chart type. Data visualization involves the main step of identifying the right chart type. The visualization charts can be categorized into four main types namely relationship charts , comparison charts , composition charts, and distribution charts. These charts are used for different purposes depending on the application. Comparison charts are used to explore the different variables in the dataset and identify the differences between them. Relationship charts and composition charts are used to see the proportion of the values scattered over the dataset. Distribution charts are used to identify the underlying distribution of the data. In this chapter, the different types of charts and its visualization with examples in Python are discussed.
