Description

A nuts-and-bolts introduction to creating publication-quality plots with matplotlib.

Abstract

The tutorial assumes some basic Python knowledge, but no familiarity with matplotlib.

It will go from making simple plots to plots of specific interest to those in big data.

Topics covered will include:

  • Integration with Jupyter/IPython
  • Customizing everything about your plots, from the location and formatting of the ticks to creating and sharing "stylesheets"
  • Laying out multiple axes on a single figure
  • Rich math rendering
  • Interactive and animated plots
  • Going from experimental plotting to developing plotting applications
