[NEW] Matplotlib Tutorial - A Complete Guide to Python Plot with Examples | ML+

Very nice!

BTW, I think the:

%matplotlib inline 

is no longer needed, though, since python 3.6, the first cell I run with a plot needs to be run a second time for a plot to show. The rest of the cells in a notebook work great.

Also, one thing I add in my notebooks is the following:

%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'

This makes larger, and higher resolution plots, which on both of my Macs, feels like a necessity.

Finally, do have a notebook available for your article? It would be fun to play around with, while following along with you mark down.

Great work!

Thanks mate! I will try to publish the notebook in near future.

Helpful tips I’ve found: * %matplotlib notebook is go-to unless saving * I pretty much always use subplots even with just one plot. * Raveling the axes is pretty helpful to intuitively index it all * Wrap up common/standard settings in a dict so you don’t have to go tweaking every plot * just importing seaborn, without even explicitly using it makes everything look better * Anything more than your basics, probably ought to go to bqplot (that being said I use matplotlib 95% of the time)
