Enhancing Your Plot

Creating a plot is the first step to visualizing data, but there is still a lot of work to do to get your plot ready for an audience. For example, updating the labels, adding a title, subtitle or data source, and adding annotations will help readers of your plot interpret and contextualize the information you have visualized. Making aesthetic improvements such as adding color or changing the look of your plot can also help engage your audience to pay better attention to your data visualization. In this section you will learn how to make these types of changes to the plots you create in this class.
