Pandas with Matplotlib - How to Create an Animated Scatter Diagram in Python

10-August-2020
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then moving pictures can show even more. In this video, we’ll use some techniques with Pandas and Matplotlib to create a scatter plot that changes with time. This allows a viewer to identify time-based trends, as well as scale comparisons between data points, which is useful for high-level discovery. Animated visualizations are a nice tool for your analytics toolkit.
