Each section includes step-by-step instructions and code snippets on how to create these visualizations using Python. ### Visual Samples | Line Graph | Bar Plot | Pie Chart | |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:| | ![Line Graph](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/eeabd90c-04fd-4e5b-aac9-c7777f892200) | ![Bar Plot](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/c1da2d6a-99ff-43a8-b5dc-ca93127917f8) | ![Pie Chart](https://github.com/RizwanMunawar/RizwanMunawar/assets/62513924/9d8acce6-d9e4-4685-949d-cd4851483187) | ### Why Graphs are Important - Line graphs are ideal for tracking changes over short and long periods and for comparing changes for multiple groups over the same period. - Bar plots, on the other hand, are suitable for comparing quantities across different categories and showing relationships between a category and its numerical value. - Lastly, pie charts are effective for illustrating proportions among categories and showing parts of a whole. !!!
