Plots from the book "Storytelling with data" implementation using Python and matplotlib

storytelling-with-data (Python + matplotlib)

http://www.storytellingwithdata.com/book/

The book storytelling with data teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization and how to communicate effectively with data. You'll discover the power of storytelling and the way to make data a pivotal point in your story. The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory, but made accessible through numerous real-world examples—ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation.

Here I have implemented few graphs from the book using Python and matplotlib library. Kindly find well documented Jupyter Notebooks for plots.
