Multi-Plot Grids Usage

Learn and understand why using multi-plot grids is an appropriate choice for data visualizations.

We'll cover the following...

Overview

Simply put, a multi-plot grid (also known as small multiples), is a grid of multiple plots. The grid can be of any size and shape according to the needs of our data. The plots inside the grids can also vary according our requirements. Multi-plot grids are utilized when we’re interested in plotting multiple identical or unique plots for the same (or different) variables along different subsets of our data. Multi-plot grids can be handy for extracting complex patterns from the data. They’re an excellent choice for delivering concise and meaningful information quickly.

Examples

Let’s go through different scenarios where using multi-plot grids would be helpful or is crucial. For example, let’s say we have a large dataset containing many features. We’ve been tasked with training multiple machine learning models on the data and reporting the final results. Training multiple models on this kind of data ...
