Scatter plots are extremely useful when you want to compare multiple features.
Especially when you want to check whether there is some kind of correlation between those variables.
Here is a simple example of a scatter plot, using the matplotlib library.
As we can see we are using the axes.scatter() method that will plot a boxplot given two lists or pd.Series of values.
In this example, we are plotting the sepal_width versus the sepal_length column.
Here is the result.
Here you are! You now know how to make boxplots.
