alizations either locally or hosted. Others (Seaborn, ggplot) aim to emulate the ease of use
of ggplot2 for R. For a good treatment of their various strengths and weaknesses see [6].
All of the above libraries are in nascent stages of development. Therefore currently the
best option is to use Matplotlib as the base tool and the other tools where appropriate.
For this chapter the Seaborn library was used at different points. It is built on top of
Matplotlib and aims to remove much of the time consuming coding burden of creating nice
plots in Matplotlib, more of which in the next section (5.4.1).
