Example Notebook

(Last updated: May 22, 2023)

You can also create content with Jupyter Notebooks. This means that you can include code blocks and their outputs in your book. In this notebook, we show some examples of loading and plotting data. Check this documentation about how to write executable content.

# Import packages
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
import seaborn as sns

Load data

You can put your data at the same directory as the notebook file and then use pandas to load the data.

# Load the Iris flower dataset using pandas
df = pd.read_csv("iris_data.csv")
df

	sepal_length	sepal_width	petal_length	petal_width	species	species_id
0	5.1	3.5	1.4	0.2	setosa	1
1	4.9	3.0	1.4	0.2	setosa	1
2	4.7	3.2	1.3	0.2	setosa	1
3	4.6	3.1	1.5	0.2	setosa	1
4	5.0	3.6	1.4	0.2	setosa	1
...	...	...	...	...	...	...
145	6.7	3.0	5.2	2.3	virginica	3
146	6.3	2.5	5.0	1.9	virginica	3
147	6.5	3.0	5.2	2.0	virginica	3
148	6.2	3.4	5.4	2.3	virginica	3
149	5.9	3.0	5.1	1.8	virginica	3

150 rows × 6 columns

Plot data

We set the repository in a way that you can use Plotly for interactive visualizations. For more information, check this documentation.

# Plot the Iris dataset using Plotly
g1 = px.scatter_3d(df,
                   x="sepal_width",
                   y="sepal_length",
                   z="petal_width",
                   color="species",
                   size="petal_length",
                   opacity=0.6,
                   size_max=30,
                   height=700)
g1

You can also plot the data using static visualizations, such as the seaborn library.

# Plot the Iris dataset using seaborn
g2 = sns.pairplot(df.drop("species_id", axis=1),
                  hue='species')
g2
