Write tutorial on plotting in Python #35

Following up from this issue, I think it would be nice to have a tutorial on plotting things in Python. It could be interesting because I think that graphics-generation is one of the reason that make users go back to commercial software (prism, excel (👎 ), or origin).

The tutorial would include a few "typical" datasets (csv files), show how to read such data with, for example, pandas and show a few visualizations with one or all of the following libraries:

matplotlib
bokeh
plotly
seaborn

Hi Johannes, I like this topic! If you plan on showing that in jupyter notebooks, take a look at bqplot as well. Pandas has some commands for plotting too (https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html), but it is usually just matplotlib simplified. I don't like it, but some people use it for simple plots. Also let me know if you need any help. I personally have only used matplotlib, seaborn and bqplot so far.
