matplotlib
Matplotlib
Matplotlib is the grandfather of Python plotting. It is verbose but provides infinite control.
When to Use
- Publication: Creating figures for papers (PDF/SVG).
- Customization: When you need to control every pixel.
- Backend: It powers Seaborn and Pandas plotting.
Core Concepts
Figure & Axes
The container (fig) and the plot area (ax). Always use the OO interface, not plt.plot.
Backends
Interactive (Qt, WebAgg) vs Static (Agg).
