+Chapter 1 - Reading data from a CSV
+===================================
+
+There are several ways to read data from a CSV file. The following are the most
+common ways:
+
+- Native reading
+- the `CSV module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html>`_
+- the `numpy module <https://www.numpy.org>`_
+- the `pandas module <https://pandas.pydata.org/>`_
+
+In this chapter, you will learn to use pandas to read and filter CSV data.
+In addition, you could pass the data file through a command-line option to your
+script.
+
+The following python script, :code:`main.py`, demonstrates how to do it:
+
+.. literalinclude:: datavisualize1/main.py
+ :language: python
+ :linenos:
+ :lines: 40-
+
+The Python script uses the :code:`argparse` module to accept and parse input
+from the command line. It then uses the input, which in this case is the filename,
+to read and print data to the prompt.
+
+Try running the script in the following way to check if you get desired output:
+
+::
+
+ $python datavisualize1/main.py -f all_hour.csv
+ time latitude longitude depth ... magNst status locationSource magSource
