How to Make a Scatter Plot in Python - Data Visualization Tutorial

In this Python data visualization tutorial we learn how to make scatter plots in Python.

We will specifically use Pandas scatter to create a scatter plot. However, Pandas method for creating scatter plots are a bit limited.

We will therefore continue the visualization tutorial by using the Seaborn library. This library works very good together with Pandas dataframes and have, at least, two methods that enables us to make a scatter plot in Python.

Data visualization using Seaborn will also enable us to change the markers, the color on the plot, and many more. That is, in a very easy way.

What if you have 500k entry and when you make scatter plots it have a lot of dots on it. Is this normal ?
