| - | The documentation is good, but not always easy to use. <wrap hi>A good way to start with matplotlib</wrap> is to: | ||
| - | - Look at the [[http://matplotlib.org/gallery.html|matplotlib gallery]] to get an idea of all you can do with matplotlib. Later, when you need to plot something, come back to the gallery to find some examples that are close to what you need and click on them to get the sources | ||
| - | - Use the free hints provided by JY! | ||
| - | - a Matplotlib //Figure// is a graphical window in which you make your plots... | ||
| - | - a Matplotlib //Axis// is a plot inside a Figure... [[http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#parts-of-a-figure|More details]] | ||
| - | - some examples are more //pythonic// (ie object oriented) than others, some example mix different styles of coding, all this can be confusing. Try to [[http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#coding-styles|use an object oriented way of doing things]]! | ||
| - | - sometimes the results of the python/matplolib commands are displayed directly, sometimes not. It depends if you are in [[http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#what-is-interactive-mode|interactive or non-interactive]] mode | ||
| - | - the documentation may mention [[http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#what-is-a-backend|backends]]. What?? Basically, you use python commands to create a plot, and the backend is the //thing// that will render your plot on the screen or in a file (png, pdf, etc...) | ||
| - | - if you don't see a part of what you have plotted, maybe it's hidden behind other elements! Use the [[https://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/zorder_demo.html|zorder parameter]] to explicitly specify the plotting order/layers | ||
| - | - Read the [[http://www.labri.fr/perso/nrougier/teaching/matplotlib/|Matplotlib tutorial by Nicolas Rougier]] | ||
| - | - Download the [[http://matplotlib.org/contents.html|pdf version of the manual]]. **Do not print** the 2800+ pages of the manual! Read the beginner's guide (Chapter //FIVE// of //Part II//) and have a super quick look at the table of contents of the whole document. | ||
