I’m excited to share with you a cheatsheet I made for Plotnine, a Python package for data visualization.

It covers nearly everything you need to know to turn your data into ad-hoc plots and publication-ready figures using the powerful grammar of graphics.

I’ve probably never spent so much time on just two pages, even with the ggplot2 cheatsheet as a starting point. Hope you find it useful.

Of course, a cheatsheet is no substitute for good documentation. I also recommend checking out the new Plotnine guide by Michael Chow.
