1. Introduction to Data Visualization: The importance of data visualization in data analysis and communication. Overview of Matplotlib and Seaborn as Python visualization libraries. 2. Setting Up the Environment: Installing Matplotlib and Seaborn. Configuring plotting settings and styles. 3. Basic Plots: 3.1. Line Plots: Creating line plots to visualize trends over time or continuous data. Customizing line styles, colors, and markers. 3.2. Bar Plots: Creating bar plots for categorical data. Customizing bar colors, widths, and labels. Grouped and stacked bar plots. 3.3. Scatter Plots: Creating scatter plots to explore relationships between two continuous variables. Adding labels, colors, and markers to data points. 4. Customizing Plots: 4.1. Titles, Labels, and Legends: Adding titles and axis labels to plots. Creating and customizing legends. 4.2. Colors and Colormaps: Choosing and customizing colors for plot elements. Working with colormaps to represent data. 4.3. Axes and Ticks: Customizing axis scales, limits, and ticks. Creating secondary axes. 4.4. Annotations and Text: Adding text, arrows, and annotations to highlight specific data points or regions. 5. Subplots and Multi-plot Layouts: Creating multiple plots within a single figure. Customizing subplot arrangement and spacing. 6. Advanced Plot Types: 6.1. Heatmaps: Creating heatmaps to visualize data density. Customizing color mapping and annotations. 6.2. Box Plots and Violin Plots: Creating box plots and violin plots to show data distributions. Customizing whiskers, outliers, and orientation. 6.3. Pair Plots: Generating pair plots for visualizing pairwise relationships in datasets. Customizing pair plot aesthetics. 7. Seaborn Themes and Styles: Utilizing built-in themes and styles to improve the overall appearance of plots. 8. Saving and Exporting Plots: Saving plots in various formats (PNG, JPEG, PDF). Exporting plots for use in reports and presentations. 9. Interactive Plots (Optional): Introduction to interactive plotting libraries like Plotly for web-based visualizations. 10.
