Introduction to Visualization in Pyt
hon Using Matplotlib
Matplotlib
is the most widely used visualization library in Python. There are two ent
ry points into the library: the pyplot API which mimics MATLAB (widely used
in engineering disciplines) and the object-oriented (OO) API. While the py
plot API is convenient for interactive work\, to fully exploit the the libr
ary the OO API gives the user significantly more power and flexibility. Thi
s talk will cover the high-level architecture of Matplotlib\, demystify the
components of an image\, explain what backends are and how they work\, and
give pointers to more resources for learning Matplotlib.
This introduction will be presented by the lea
d developer and maintainer of Matplotlib\, Thomas Caswell. He is also a sof
t condensed matter physicist at Brookhaven National Lab.
