Pokemon Types with Heat Map

In this notebook we're going to use PlotAPI Heat Map to visualise the co-occurrences between Pokémon types. We"ll use Python, but PlotAPI can be used from any programming language.

Introduction

In this notebook we're going to use PlotAPI HeatMap to visualise the co-occurrences between Pokémon types. We"ll use Python, but PlotAPI can be used from any programming language.

Dataset

We're going to use Pokémon (Gen 1-8) data, a fork of which is available in this repository. Let"s get loading the data.

with open("pokemon_types.json", "r") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
    
names = ["Bug", "Dark", "Dragon", "Electric", "Fairy", "Fighting",
         "Fire", "Flying", "Ghost", "Grass", "Ground", "Ice",
         "Normal", "Poison", "Psychic", "Rock", "Steel", "Water"]

Visualisation

Let's use PlotAPI HeatMap for this visualisation.

We're going to adjust some layout and template parameters, and flip the intro animation on too.

Because we're using a data-table, we can also click on any part of the diagram to "lock" the selection.

plot = HeatMap(
    data["matrix"],
    col_names=names,
    row_names=names,
    colors="turbo",
    details_thumbs=data["details_thumbs"],
    noun="Pokemon!",
    thumbs_width=50,
    thumbs_margin=1,
    popup_width=600,
    data_table_column_width=100,
    data_table=data["data_table"],
    data_table_show_indices=False,
    zero_color="transparent",
    scale="exponential",
    scale_exponent=0.40,
)

Upload to cloud

With our plot created, let's upload it to PlotAPI cloud and get a shareable link.

plot.upload(
    name="Pokémon Types (Gen 1-9)",
    description='''In this project we're going to use PlotAPI to visualize the co-occurrences between Pokémon types. We're going to use Pokémon (Gen 1-9) data, a fork of which is available in @shahinrostami's GitHub.''',
    maximized=True,
    full_width=True,
    public=True,
    custom_css=custom_css
