Third-party and user-contributed packages¶
A list of packages that extend Matplotlib. These are maintained and distributed independently from Matplotlib so go to the website listed for instructions.
Please contribute your package by opening a pull-request at https://github.com/matplotlib/mpl-third-party using the template in the readme
If you need help making a package, see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib-extension-cookiecutter where we give you a template to make it easy!
You can find more packages at
PyPI
if package maintainers have added the Framework :: Matplotlib
in the classifier list in the setup.py file of their package.
