A Jupyter notebook tutorial series developed for the SciPy conference that teaches the matplotlib plotting library from NumPy basics through advanced concepts like artists and mpl_toolkits. It is intended as both a training resource and inspiration for restructuring matplotlib's documentation.
Use cases
- learn matplotlib from scratch
- understand matplotlib figures, subplots, and layouts
- learn how matplotlib artists work internally
- prepare a matplotlib training session for a conference or team
- review plotting methods and legends in matplotlib
- get a NumPy refresher before learning matplotlib
When to choose
- you want a structured, notebook-based introduction to matplotlib
- you are teaching or self-studying Python data visualization
- you want to understand matplotlib's architecture beyond basic plotting
When to avoid
- you need up-to-date documentation for the latest matplotlib release
- you want a quick reference rather than a guided tutorial
- you need an interactive course with exercises and grading
