Introduction
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create scatter plots on a polar axis using Matplotlib in Python. A polar plot is a graphical representation of data that is displayed in polar coordinates. It is useful when the data is cyclical or circular in nature, such as data measured over time or direction.
VM Tips
After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the Notebook tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice.
Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook.
If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
