Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance [[data visualization]] techniques to effectively analyze and compare execution times of various methods across different data structures using Python libraries.

Key Activities

  • Adapted plots to visualize median execution times using Matplotlib and Seaborn.
  • Implemented Python code for plotting sparse and dense datasets, ensuring consistent styling for comparability.
  • Adjusted plot sizes and evaluated execution times to decide on the use of shared or independent y-axes.
  • Addressed code execution issues by reloading and preprocessing data, and resolved library import oversights.
  • Requested file uploads for processing and plotting, emphasizing the need for CSV files.
  • Developed logic to determine when to use shared versus independent y-axes based on data analysis.
  • Updated Python code to adjust y-axis scales according to performance metrics.
  • Debugged y-axis behavior in Matplotlib, focusing on the sharey parameter and ax.set_ylim() function.
  • Customized y-axis behavior in plotting loops to track maximum y-values for shared y-axis methods.

Achievements

  • Successfully visualized performance metrics for various graph methods on sparse and dense graphs.
  • Enhanced understanding of y-axis customization and control in Matplotlib subplots.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refinement of y-axis logic to improve clarity in performance comparisons.
  • Integration of additional datasets once CSV files are provided.
