Exploring the Artistry of Matplotlib

Exploring the Artistry of Matplotlib

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library producing publication-quality figures in various hardcopy formats and interactive platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, the Python and IPython shells, the Jupyter Notebook, web application servers, and four graphical user interface toolkits.

Matplotlib tries to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, error charts, scatterplots, etc., with just a few lines of code. For examples, see the sample plots and thumbnail gallery.

The pyplot module provides a MATLAB-like interface for simple plotting, particularly when combined with IPython. For the power user, you have complete control of line styles, font properties, axes properties, etc., via an object-oriented interface or a set of functions familiar to MATLAB users.
