Introduction to Python Class 07 : Introduction to Matplotlib

Описание: Welcome to this in-depth guide to Matplotlib, the most popular data visualization library in Python! This tutorial is designed to take you from the basics of plotting to creating customized, publication-quality graphs. Using Jupyter Lab, we’ll explore how to visualize your data effectively, a crucial skill for any data scientist, analyst, or researcher.

We start with an introduction to the Matplotlib library and its core components, explaining why it's the go-to choice for 2D plotting in Python. You'll learn how to set up your environment and make your first simple plots with just a few lines of code.

In this comprehensive tutorial, you will master:
Matplotlib Fundamentals: Understand the basic components of a plot, including figures, axes, titles, labels, and legends.
Creating Your First Plot: Learn how to create simple line plots using sample data generated with NumPy.
Customization Techniques: Dive deep into customizing your plots. We’ll cover how to change colors, line styles, add markers, control font sizes, and turn on grid lines to make your visualizations clear and impactful.
Plotting Multiple Datasets: Learn to display multiple data series on a single graph, complete with legends to distinguish between them.
Working with Subplots: Discover how to create complex figures with multiple subplots, allowing you to compare different views of your data side-by-side.
Creating Scatter Plots: Move beyond line plots to create scatter plots, and learn how to customize them with color maps and size variations to represent additional dimensions of data.
Saving Your Plots: Learn how to save your figures to different file formats (like PNG) directly from your code.
Practical Exercise: Apply your new skills in a hands-on exercise where you'll create a multi-plot figure, customize its appearance, and set axis limits.

This is a hands-on session, so launch your Jupyter Lab, and let's start visualizing! By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to create a wide variety of custom plots to explore and present your data.
