Today, i'll be showing you 4 interesting and unique ways of visualizing data in python, as well as when you should use each one...

Let's start with the 3D plot:

Use cases:
Visualizing data in 3 dimensions
Comparing data points in 3 dimensions

The 3D plot does a great job at visualizing data points in 3 dimensions, you can also rotate and tilt such a 3D graph to look at it from different points of view.

Next up, the Word cloud:

Use cases:
Visualizing data in the form of words and sentences
Sentiment analysis

This will be useful for visualizing things like today's news headlines, tweets or twitter bios. A good example is this tutorial explaining how to create a word cloud of news headlines in python.

Now for The Sankey diagram:

Last but not least, the Radar chart:

Use cases:
Visualizing characteristics and data based on data points in multiple dimensions

This one is a little hard to understand from the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, you'll see that it's very useful for visualizing and comparing data in multiple dimensions.
