Overview of this book

The Julia programming language offers a fresh perspective into the data visualization field. Interactive Visualization and Plotting with Julia begins by introducing the Julia language and the Plots package. The book then gives a quick overview of the Julia plotting ecosystem to help you choose the best library for your task. In particular, you will discover the many ways to create interactive visualizations with its packages. You’ll also leverage Pluto notebooks to gain interactivity and use them intensively through this book. You’ll find out how to create animations, a handy skill for communication and teaching. Then, the book shows how to solve data analysis problems using DataFrames and various plotting packages based on the grammar of graphics. Furthermore, you’ll discover how to create the most common statistical plots for data exploration. Also, you’ll learn to visualize geographically distributed data, graphs and networks, and biological data. Lastly, this book will go deeper into plot customizations with Plots, Makie, and Gadfly—focusing on the former—teaching you to create plot themes, arrange multiple plots into a single figure, and build new plot types. By the end of this Julia book, you’ll be able to create interactive and publication-quality static plots for data analysis and exploration tasks using Julia.

Section 1 – Getting Started

In this section, you will learn the basics about Julia and its plotting ecosystem. We will start with a quick introduction to Julia for data analysis and visualization – no previous Julia experience is needed. Then, we will explore the different plotting packages in the Julia ecosystem. The initial chapters will introduce you to some basic plotting capabilities of Plots and Makie. Then, we will go deeper to see how to create interactive plots and animations with them. This section will also introduce us to Pluto notebooks, interactive and reproducible Julia notebooks that will be essential for following this book’s code examples.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, An Introduction to Julia for Data Visualization and Analysis
  • Chapter 2, The Julia Plotting Ecosystem
  • Chapter 3, Getting Interactive Plots with Julia
  • Chapter 4, Creating Animations
