Further details are available in the Installation Guide.
Draw a first plot¶
Here is a minimal example plot:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 200)
y = np.sin(x)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
plt.show()
(Source code, png, pdf)
If a plot does not show up please check Troubleshooting.
