What is Matplotlib?

Matplotlib is a low level graph plotting library in python that serves as a visualization
utility.

Matplotlib was created by John D. Hunter.

Matplotlib is open source and we can use it freely.

Matplotlib is mostly written in python, a few segments are written in C, Objective-C


and Javascript for Platform compatibility.

Pyplot

Most of the Matplotlib utilities lies under the pyplot submodule, and are usually
imported under the plt alias:

import [Link] as plt

Now the Pyplot package can be referred to as plt.

Example
Draw a line in a diagram from position (0,0) to position (6,250):
#Three lines to make our compiler able to draw:
import sys
import matplotlib
[Link]('Agg')
import [Link] as plt
import numpy as np
xpoints = [Link]([0, 6])
ypoints = [Link]([0, 250])
[Link](xpoints, ypoints)
[Link]()
#Two lines to make our compiler able to draw:
[Link]([Link])
[Link]()
Output:
