Advanced Tutorial: How to Master Matplotlib Like an Absolute Boss

<h2>I used to have a rule&hellip;</h2> <p>When I was a beginner learning data visualization, I used to have a rule &mdash; never, ever visit the Matplotlib documentation.</p> <p>Nothing good ever came out of there. When I was on its pages, my eyes would process&nbsp;<em>English words</em>&nbsp;but, somehow, they were interpreted into my brain like I was deciphering a foreign language. Then I would stumble upon some masterpieces like&nbsp;<a href="https://ibexorigin.medium.com/yes-these-unbelievable-masterpieces-are-created-with-matplotlib-22780667dee" rel="noopener">these</a>, and I would think, do I even use the same library?</p> <p>Even if you are a seasoned programmer, I am sure you&rsquo;ve faced similar challenges while learning Maplotlib. It is no easy library. There are so many classes and so damn many ways of doing the simplest tasks &mdash; utter confusion.</p> <p>If you are in that position or want to step up your Matplotlib game, I&rsquo;ve got the guide you need. I will show you to reach&nbsp;<em>deep</em>&nbsp;into the roots of the Matplotlib jungle, set a fire on it, and fly out on a&nbsp;<em>jetpack</em>.</p> <p>Let&rsquo;s start!</p> <h2>Matplotlib artists</h2> <p>Though exceptional programmers wrote Matplotlib, it consists of base classes called Artists.</p> <p>Every circle-annotated component of the plot is implemented as a separate class that&nbsp;<em>inherits</em>&nbsp;from the base artist. But this ability to represent everything as a class has its pros and cons.</p> <p><a href="https://pub.towardsai.net/advanced-tutorial-how-to-master-matplotlib-like-an-absolute-boss-3362c8bfd829"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
