Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Plot the data and corresponding linear fits with the Seaborn lmplot() function."

A block of code is set as follows:

population = dawb.download(indicator=[dawb.get_name('pop_grow'), dawb.get_name('gdp_pcap'),
                                    dawb.get_name('primary_education')],
                         country=countries['iso2c'], start=2014, end=2014)

population = dawb.rename_columns(population)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

plt.figure()
plt.title('Rainy Weather vs Wind Speed')
categorical = df
categorical['RAIN'] = categorical['RAIN'] > 0
ax = sns.violinplot(x="RAIN", y="WIND_SPEED",
 data=categorical)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ conda install -c scitools cartopy

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "In the next screenshot, the Day of year 31 text comes from the tooltip:"

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.

Tip
