## What it is
A collection of Jupyter notebooks demonstrating a wide variety of matplotlib plot types and formatting techniques, from heatmaps and 3D plots to legends and style sheets. It serves as a reference gallery of copy-paste-ready plotting examples for Python data visualization.

## Use cases
- find matplotlib code examples for a specific plot type
- learn how to format legends, gridlines, and subplots in matplotlib
- copy heatmap or dendrogram plotting code
- prepare publication-quality plots in Python
- learn 3D plotting in matplotlib
- reference for styling matplotlib charts

## When to choose
- you want ready-made matplotlib snippets to adapt for your own plots
- you learn best from annotated notebook examples
- you need quick reference for plot formatting like legends and style sheets

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library or tool rather than example notebooks
- you use a plotting library other than matplotlib
- you need the official matplotlib gallery or up-to-date API coverage

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, data-science, tutorials
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: matplotlib, jupyter-notebooks, plotting-examples, ipython
