A tutorial handout (with Jupyter Notebook source) teaching how to create publication-quality figures with Matplotlib, originally given at the Alife 2014 conference. It focuses on scientific paper figures such as fitness-over-time plots and box plots for comparing treatments.
Use cases
- make publication-quality figures for a scientific paper
- learn matplotlib styling for academic plots
- create box plots to compare experimental treatments
- plot fitness over time for evolutionary computation experiments
- improve figure aesthetics for a journal submission
- find a matplotlib tutorial for researchers
When to choose
- you write scientific papers in Python and need polished figures
- you want a guided tutorial from basics to advanced matplotlib customization
- your field is artificial life, evolutionary computation, or similar research areas
When to avoid
- you need an exhaustive matplotlib reference or API documentation
- you want interactive or web-based visualization libraries like Plotly or Bokeh
- you need a maintained library rather than a teaching document
