React Functional Component Unmount

React Functional Component Unmount

Working with React for over eight years, I have seen the library evolve from complex class components to the sleek efficiency of Hooks. One of the most common hurdles I see developers face is the transition from componentWillUnmount to the functional world. Understanding how a component “cleans up” after itself is vital for building high-performance … Read more >>

Matplotlib Multiple Circle Plots

Matplotlib Multiple Circle Plots

Creating multiple circles in Matplotlib is one of those tasks that sounds simple until you actually try to align them perfectly. I have spent years building dashboards and data visualizations in Python, and I can tell you that there are at least three ways to do this. Each has its own place depending on whether … Read more >>

How to Create Multiple Violin Plots in Matplotlib

Create Multiple Violin Plots in Matplotlib

When I first started visualizing complex datasets, I often relied on box plots to see the distribution of my data. However, I quickly realized that box plots can hide important details, like whether a distribution has multiple peaks. That is when I discovered violin plots in Matplotlib, which combine a box plot with a kernel … Read more >>

How to Plot Multiple Rectangles in Matplotlib

Plot Multiple Rectangles in Matplotlib

When I first started building custom data visualizations in Python, I often found myself needing to highlight specific regions on a chart. Whether it’s marking recession periods in economic data or outlining specific clusters in a scatter plot, knowing how to draw shapes is a fundamental skill. In this tutorial, I will show you exactly … Read more >>

How to Plot a Matplotlib Secondary Y-Axis with a Log Scale

Plot Matplotlib Secondary Y-Axis with Log Scale

Plotting data with vastly different scales on the same chart can be a real headache. I’ve often found myself staring at a flat line on a linear scale, simply because one dataset overshadowed the other. In this tutorial, I will show you how to implement a secondary Y-axis and apply a logarithmic scale. This is … Read more >>

Create Subplots with a Secondary Y-Axis in Matplotlib

Create Subplots with Secondary Y-Axis in Matplotlib

When I build dashboards for financial analysis, I often need to compare two different metrics that don’t share the same scale. For instance, you might want to visualize the S&P 500 index price alongside the daily trading volume. If you plot them on the same Y-axis, the volume (in millions) will completely flatten the index … Read more >>

How to Set Axis Lower Limit in Matplotlib

Set Axis Lower Limit in Matplotlib

In my years of developing data-driven applications in Python, I’ve found that Matplotlib’s default scaling is usually great, but it isn’t perfect. There are many times when the default view starts the axis at a value that hides the trend you are trying to highlight. I often find myself needing to force a plot to … Read more >>

Set the Secondary Axis Range in Python Matplotlib

Secondary Axis Range in Matplotlib

One of the most common challenges I face when building complex data visualizations is managing scales. Sometimes, a single Y-axis just doesn’t tell the whole story. In my experience, adding a secondary axis is the best way to compare two different data scales on a single chart. However, getting the range right can be tricky. … Read more >>

Set Axis Range in Python Matplotlib imshow

Axis Range in Matplotlib imshow

I have spent years visualizing complex datasets using Matplotlib, and one of the most common hurdles I see developers face is handling the axis range in imshow. By default, Matplotlib treats your array indices as coordinates, which rarely matches the real-world scale of your data. In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to … Read more >>
