A beginner-level tutorial for Matplotlib, the most widely used Python 2D plotting library, written by Nicolas P. Rougier. It walks through building publication-quality figures step by step, from default plots to customized sine/cosine examples, with runnable scripts and a CC BY-SA license.
Use cases
- learn matplotlib from scratch
- tutorial on plotting in python
- make publication-quality figures with matplotlib
- customize matplotlib plots step by step
- introduction to pyplot and IPython plotting
- visualize data with python for beginners
When to choose
- you are new to matplotlib and want a structured, example-driven introduction
- you want to learn figure customization incrementally from defaults
- you prefer runnable scripts accompanying each lesson
When to avoid
- you need official, up-to-date API documentation
- you need advanced or interactive plotting beyond 2D basics
- you want a maintained library rather than learning material
