Not one to miss a fad in data visualisation, I noticed joyplots getting a lot of attention over at reddit’s dataisbeautiful subreddit and have given a go at producing some myself – I’m hoping to integrate them into a talk I’m giving this Wednesday as part of the RSPSoc‘s annual conference, and am hoping they make enough sense to include.
I’m tinkering with the joypy library, a set of scripts whose sole purpose is to produce these types of plots, built ontop of the excellent (and frequently used by myself) seaborn plotting library.
For now, I need to get of the fad wagon and keep on writing!
