Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit
Plotly is a visualization library for creating interactive charts and graphs.
- How it is used
- Turns dashboard metrics into interactive time-series and breakdown charts for decision-makers.
- How deep it goes
- Works through data preparation, Graph Objects traces, layout, and Streamlit display; does not explore Plotly internals.
- Examples
- Builds a daily-metric line chart and a dimension-grouped donut chart for a dashboard.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch: create Plotly line and pie figures from grouped metrics and display them in Streamlit.

DuckDB in Action
Plotly is a software library for creating interactive charts and data visualizations.
- How it is used
- Turns queried data into accessible interactive charts for Streamlit applications and data-informed decisions.
- How deep it goes
- Demonstrates installation, imports, data ordering, scatterplot construction, Streamlit rendering, and chart annotations.
- Examples
- Uses a Murray–Nadal match timeline, winner colors, round-sized points, ordered tournaments, and vertical year lines.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch by preparing a DataFrame, constructing an interactive Plotly chart, and rendering it with Streamlit.
