1 Dataset. 100 Visualizations

Are Plotly and/or Seaborn still the best Python packages to get these kind of visualisations out of the box? I am always looking for new ways to better visualise data in reporting, and some of these look very helpful in telling a story from data.

My (opinionated) take is that if you learn 4 basic plots, it will take you far. These are easy to do with Pandas. In fact, I think the easiest way to do Matplotlib is with pandas rather than the Matplotlib API.

I do pull out plotly for 3d scatter plots (for PCA visualization). Matplotlib is horrible for this.

Personally I find plotly hard to beat. Unless you're doing really fancy stuff, it gives you everything you need. Seaborn also a great option IMO.
