Data visualization using notebooks

Here, we will discuss the main types of visualization charts and give examples for each, using plotly.express and the Databricks notebook GUI.

Line charts

Line charts are used with varying data points that move over an endless plain. A perfect example of data on a continuous plain is time-series data. One thing to consider with line charts is that it’s best to show small changes over a more extended period.

Bar charts

Bar charts help compare significant changes and show differences between groups of data. A key detail to remember is that bar charts are not used for contiguous data and typically represent categorical data.

Histograms

Histograms can be thought of as bar charts for continuous data. Histograms are often used with frequency over, for example, sales data.

Scatter plots

Scatter plots are essential charts showing relationships between two datasets and the correlation between data.

Pie charts
