What do you need to know about Matplotlib?

Matplotlib includes its own matplotlib.font_manager which implements a cross platform, W3C compliant font finding algorithm. The user has a great deal of control over text properties (font size, font weight, text location and color, etc.).

What kind of font support does Matplotlib have?

Matplotlib has extensive text support, including support for mathematical expressions, TrueType support for raster and vector outputs, newline separated text with arbitrary rotations, and unicode support. Matplotlib includes its own matplotlib.font_manager which implements a cross platform, W3C compliant font finding algorithm.

What happens when you call plt.subplots in Matplotlib?

Each time you call plt.subplots() or the less frequently used plt.figure() (which creates a Figure, with no Axes), you are creating a new Figure object that matplotlib sneakily keeps around in memory. Earlier, we alluded to the concept of a current Figure and current Axes.

What does the style package do in Matplotlib?

The style package adds support for easy-to-switch plotting “styles” with the same parameters as a matplotlib rc file (which is read at startup to configure Matplotlib). There are a number of pre-defined styles provided by Matplotlib.

Project description Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. Check out our home page for more information. Matplotlib produces publication-quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms.

What does scale mean in Matplotlib logarithmic chart?

A two-dimensional chart in Matplotlib has a yscale and xscale. The scale means the graduations or tick marks along an axis. They can be any of: matplotlib.scale.LinearScale —These are just numbers, like 1, 2, 3.

How to make a plot with log scaling?

Make a plot with log scaling on both the x and y axis. This is just a thin wrapper around plot which additionally changes both the x-axis and the y-axis to log scaling. All of the concepts and parameters of plot can be used here as well. The additional parameters base, subs and nonpositive control the x/y-axis properties.

Can you cite Matplotlib in a citation entry?

If Matplotlib contributes to a project that leads to publication, please acknowledge this by citing Matplotlib. A ready-made citation entry is available. Download the file for your platform. If you’re not sure which to choose, learn more about installing packages.
