How to Create Amazing Charts with Just a Few Words using WiseData

Introduction

Data is everywhere, and it can tell us a lot of things. But data alone is not enough. We need to visualize it, to make it come alive, to reveal its secrets, and to share its stories. Data visualization is the art and science of turning data into graphical or interactive forms that can capture our attention, spark our curiosity, and inspire our action.

But data visualization is not easy. It requires a lot of skills, knowledge, and creativity. It requires choosing the right type of chart, picking the best data attributes, applying the proper formatting and styling, and adding the most informative annotations and labels. And it requires knowing what your audience wants and expects from your visualization.

What if you could just write what you want to see in plain words and get a stunning chart in seconds? That’s exactly what WiseData does.

You can download the Jupyter notebook from HERE.

What is WiseData?

WiseData is a Python library that lets you visualize data with natural language. It uses ChatGPT and cutting-edge natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) techniques to understand your queries and generate chart that match your intent. You can use WiseData to create many kinds of charts, such as bar charts, line charts, scatter plots, histograms, box plots, and more.

How to use WiseData?

1. Obtain an API Key

To use WiseData, you need to obtain an API Key. Simply visit https://www.wisedata.app/, fill out your email address. And the API Key used for Python package will be delivered to your email.

2. Installation

Using WiseData is super easy and fun. You need to install the library using pip.

We will install additional libraries needed as well.

pip install wisedata
pip install pandas numpy matplotlib seaborn

3. Instantiation

Then you can import WiseData and instantiate the WiseData class with your API key:

from wisedata import WiseData

# TODO: Copy your API key which you've received in your email here
wd = WiseData(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

4. Visualize Data with words

Let's say we have a Pandas DataFrame with the following data:

country	gdp	happiness_index
United States	19294482071552	6.94
United Kingdom	2891615567872	7.16
France	2411255037952	6.66
Germany	3435817336832	7.07
Italy	1745433788416	6.38
Spain	1181205135360	6.4
Canada	1607402389504	7.23
Australia	1490967855104	7.22
Japan	4380756541440	5.87
China	14631844184064	5.12

We will create a Pandas DataFrame of this data:

import pandas as pd

countries = pd.DataFrame({
    "country": ["United States", "United Kingdom", "France", "Germany", "Italy", "Spain", "Canada", "Australia", "Japan", "China"],
    "gdp": [19294482071552, 2891615567872, 2411255037952, 3435817336832, 1745433788416, 1181205135360, 1607402389504, 1490967855104, 4380756541440, 14631844184064],
    "happiness_index": [6.94, 7.16, 6.66, 7.07, 6.38, 6.4, 7.23, 7.22, 5.87, 5.12]
})

Finally, you can use the .viz() function to create a chart based on your natural language query. You just need to pass the data frame and the query as arguments. For example:

wd.viz("bar chart with country's gdp sorted by gdp descending", {
    "countries": countries 
})

Voila! The bar chart with country's GDP sorted by GDP descending was created!

What are the benefits of WiseData?

WiseData has many benefits for data visualization. Some of them are:

• It saves you time and effort by automating the chart creation process, and gain insights faster.
• It allows you to express your visualization needs in natural language.
• It allows you to write more concise and readable code. People who are reading code can interpret the visualization easily.

Conclusion

WiseData is a powerful and innovative tool for data visualization with natural language. It can help you create amazing and interactive charts with just a few words. It can also help you learn more about your data and communicate your findings effectively.
