matplotlib tutorial

We are using a lot of tutorials to help us prepare our Python materials. I'll post some here in case others are interested. Below is a simple starter one for matplotlib, the Python plotting library.

PythonProgramming.net


Anaconda

Recently installed the Anaconda Python IDE. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it does, indeed, install many of the libraries such as pandas for data manipulation, numpy for arrays and matplotlib for plotting.  These are available from the regular command line as well iPython and Jupyter.The install went smoothly and only took a few minutes on my Windows 10 computer. The distribution was about 420 MB. This is what it installed. More about these in later posts.
