Change Figure Size in Matplotlib

Introduction Matplotlib is one of the most widely used data visualization libraries in Python. Much of Matplotlib’s popularity comes from its customization options – you can tweak just about any element from its hierarchy of objects. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to change a figure size in Matplotlib. Creating a Plot Let’s first create a simple plot in a figure: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.arange(0, 10, 0.1) y = np.sin(x) […]

Beginners Tutorial for Regular Expressions in Python

Importance of Regular Expressions In last few years, there has been a dramatic shift in usage of general purpose programming languages for data science and machine learning. This was not always the case – a decade back this thought would have met a lot of skeptic eyes! This means that more people / organizations are using tools like Python / JavaScript for solving their data needs. This is where Regular Expressions become super useful. Regular expressions are normally the default way […]

Asynchronous vs Synchronous Python Performance Analysis

Introduction This article is the second part of a series on using Python for developing asynchronous web applications. The first part provides a more in-depth coverage of concurrency in Python and asyncio, as well as aiohttp. If you’d like to read more about Asynchronous Python for Web Development, we’ve got it covered. Due to the non-blocking nature of asynchronous libraries like aiohttp we would hope to be able to make and handle more requests in a given amount of time […]

Search Algorithms in Python

Introduction Searching for data stored in different data structures is a crucial part of pretty much every single application. There are many different algorithms available to utilize when searching, and each have different implementations and rely on different data structures to get the job done. Being able to choose a specific algorithm for a given task is a key skill for developers and can mean the difference between a fast, reliable and stable application and an application that crumbles from […]

Saving Text, JSON, and CSV to a File in Python

Saving data to a file is one of the most common programming tasks you may come across in your developer life. Generally, programs take some input and produce some output. There are numerous cases in which we’d want to persist these results. We may find ourselves saving data to a file for later processing – from webpages we browse, simple dumps of tabular data we use for reports, machine learning and training or logging during the application runtime – we […]
