Explore and visualize data: Overview
Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks isdeprecated. On
April 14, 2025, support for
managed notebooks will end and the ability to create managed notebooks instances
will be removed. Existing instances will continue to function
but patches, updates, and upgrades won't be available. To continue using
Vertex AI Workbench, we recommend that youmigrate
your managed notebooks instances to Vertex AI Workbench instances.
This page identifies common ways to explore and visualize data
in Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks. You can use
pre-installed Python packages and R libraries that are commonly used
for data visualization. To explore and visualize BigQuery data,
you can use the BigQuery client library with
packages that visualize data.
Common Python packages and R libraries
By default, managed notebooks instances are pre-installed
with common Python packages and R libraries for data visualization, for examplematplotlib,seaborn,
andggplot2. Import or load these packages
and libraries into your notebook file and they are ready to use.
BigQuery data
You can use common Python packages to visualize
BigQuery data. The BigQuery client library
provides additional methods, and by default the
BigQuery client library is pre-installed in
managed notebooks instances.
For an example of how to use the BigQuery client library
with Python plotting capabilities, seeExplore and visualize data in
BigQuery tables.
