And if you want to be able to customize our charts to a very high level, we need to learn the Matplotlib in Seaborn libraries which could be a course in itself. So we're really focusing on giving you a very high level ability to format your charts but this will be a course that you will need to take if you are going to try to produce very high end charts in Python. But one thing that can be very helpful and help us get around the need to learn these libraries very deeply are pre-made style templates provided to us by the Matplotlib and Seaborn libraries. Once we set a style at the top of our notebook, it will be applied to all charts below. So here we're importing Seaborn as SNS, and then we're setting the style to dark grid. I…
