HeatMaps in Python – How to Create Heatmaps in Python?

Hello there! Today we are going to understand the use of heatmaps in Python and how to create them for different datasets.

What are Heatmaps?

Heatmaps visualize the data in 2-D colored maps making use of color variations like hue, saturation, or luminance. Heatmaps describe relationships between variables in form of colors instead of numbers.

These variables are plotted on both axes. The color changes describe the relationship between two values according to the intensity of the color in a particular block. 

Heatmaps have a lot of applications, some of them are listed below:

  1. Visualizing Business Analytics
  2. Exploring Data Analysis
  3. Exploring Marketing and Sales
  4. Visualizing number of visitors on a website or an application
