This week #TidyTuesday explores EuroLeague Basketball, the premier men’s club basketball competition in Europe. I used a circle packing chart to show each team’s final four appearances and success rate, using size and color to represent these values. #pydytuesday #dataviz

I agree with you. Sketching by hand helps stay focused before writing the code.

This week #TidyTuesday explores the FIDE Chess Player Ratings. I selected the top 10 male and top 10 female players who saw the biggest jump in ratings and rankings from August to September and then presented them in a table with the great_tables library.

It's not just me then! I've found myself skipping recipes now if there’s something in there I can't pronounce or haven't heard of.

This week #TidyTuesday explores the Scottish Munros. I combined a KDE plot to visualize Munro spread with a scatter plot which is color coded by distance to the nearest Munro, and put it all on a map.

This week #TidyTuesday explores extreme weather attribution studies. I looked at studies about Africa with ISO country codes, then made spike maps to show the number of studies and their event or trend type using height and color.

I agree with you, The Kite Runner is such a good book. I didn't know Honor by Elif Shafak, but I’ve read and loved The Island of Missing Trees and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World.

Yes, I used Matplotlib. I always use it for pydytuesday because for full control over the details, Matplotlib is the best.

This week #TidyTuesday explores the income inequality before and after taxes. I created line charts with a shaded area and small multiples within a mosaic layout. I used only a subset of the processed data where both coefficients were available.

I've recreated my week 24 plot, originally created by Matplotlib (left), using Flourish (right). This is my first time using Flourish, so I’m not sure if the height issue is something I missed when adjusting, or if it might be a limitation of this graph.

I’m more into Peaky Blinders and Vikings, but I remember watching the 1-3 seasons of House of Cards and how I never got around to finishing it.

This week #TidyTuesday is looking into what we have been watching on Netflix. Generally speaking, shows tend to get tired after 2-3 seasons, though there are exceptions.

I created this plot with ax.inset_axes() method too with total 14 axes (1 main + 13 child axes). It is a kind of guilty pleasure plot because the charts are hardly readable 🙂

The lighting is a characteristic of the original image that I wanted to preserve, which is why I didn't change the background color in the inset axes.
