Chapter Flow

  • 5.1 Pandas plotting basics
  • 5.2 Pandas chart types
  • 5.3 Pandas plot styling

What To Watch For

  • The main concept introduced in each section
  • The code pattern that supports the concept
  • The management question the method helps answer

Carry Forward

  • Use the section practice exercises to check runnable code skills.
  • Keep the notebook examples runnable.
  • Connect each method to interpretation, not just syntax.
  • Use the glossary terms when explaining results.
