The Matplotlib tutorial repository is designed as a hands-on learning resource to help users — especially Python beginners — get started with Matplotlib for creating plots and charts. It provides a sequence of example scripts and notebooks that cover fundamental plotting tasks: line graphs, histograms, scatter plots, bar charts, customizing axes, labels, legends, and styling. This makes it ideal for someone learning data analysis or exploratory data visualization for the first time and needing concrete, runnable examples rather than abstract explanations. As the tutorial builds progressively, learners can gradually advance from simple static plots to more complex visualizations, learning how to control figure size, add multiple subplots, adjust plot aesthetics, and handle different data types. Because it is code-first, users can copy, modify, and run the examples on their own datasets, encouraging experimentation and deepening understanding.
Features
