Abstract

Data visualisation is the process of visualizing data for the purpose of analyzing and correlating data to confirm complicated ideas and to spot visual patterns after an investigation. Data visualization allows data scientists to quickly identify visual patterns and trends that may not be immediately apparent from raw data. Visualization also enables us to build models that are easier for stakeholders to understand and apply. Data visualization is an essential tool for exploratory data analysis (EDA). Plotly Express is a terse, high-level Python visualization library. It is a wrapper module for Plotly library that provides simple interface for visualizing data in the form of various plots, maps, graph objects, layouts, traces, figures, etc. Plotly Express is a user-friendly, high-level interface to Plotly that generates easily styleable, interactive, beautiful, and informative figures visualizing various types of data. Plotly Express provides interactive visualizations.

Plotly Express For Data Visualization

Plotly Express is a terse, high-level Python visualization library. It is a wrapper module for the Plotly library that provides a simple interface for visualizing data in various plots, maps, graph objects, layouts, traces, figures, etc. Plotly Express is a user-friendly, high-level interface to Plotly, which generates easily style able, interactive, beautiful, and informative figures visualizing various types of data. Plotly Express provides interactive visualizations; for example, the Plotly figures are by default appended with hover text which the programmer can customize. An overview of Plotly Express can be referred to at (Plotly Express in Python, 2022). Table 1 illustrates the different types of plots supported by Plotly Express.
