Hi. This is Austin Cepalia with realpython.com. In this course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=0.24
we’re going to learn how to utilize Matplotlib in order to producehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=4.89
high-quality graphics for visualizing data. Yeah, that’s right—https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=9.48
we’re making all of the graphics you see onscreen.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=14.04
00:18https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=18.51
Matplotlib is a plotting library used all around the world by scientists,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=18.51
engineers, mathematicians, and—well, just about anybody.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=24.15
It presents itself as pretty easy.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=29.58
00:32https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=32.189
You can start making plots with just a few lines of code.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=32.189
But in order to make the most of the library,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=35.73
it’s important to understand some of what’s going on under the hood,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=38.79
or you’ll find yourself struggling when you try to plot something advanced.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=42.78
00:47https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=47.55
It’s sort of like building a house. If you don’t have a sturdy foundation,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=47.55
you won’t have a house for very long. Matplotlibhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=52.02
is a massive library,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=55.53
and so we can’t cover everything in this course. Instead,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=57.54
we’re just going to learn about the foundation of the library, and we’ll see howhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=61.71
it’s used to build all different types of plots.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=66.18
01:10https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=70.2
Installing Matplotlib can be done with pip.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=70.2
This will ensure you have all of the required dependencies,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=73.59
such as NumPy. While you’re at it, grab Pandas too.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=77.1
01:21https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=81.72
That, we’ll be using later on.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=81.72
You can also grab a scientific computing package, such as Anaconda,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=84.0
which comes with Matplotlib and many other scientific computing librarieshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=88.98
pre-installed. It will also allow you to create virtual environments—https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=93.78
that’s what I’ll be using in this course.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=98.7
01:41https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=101.97
This course assumes you have a basic understanding of both object-orientedhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=101.97
programming as well as the NumPy library.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=106.95
If you’re not familiar with object-oriented programming,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=110.94
I’d highly suggest you watch my first Real Python video coursehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=114.3
Intro to Object-Oriented Programming in Pythonhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=118.23
before continuing. As for NumPy, don’t sweat it—https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=121.74
we’re going to learn everything we need to know about NumPy in the next video.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=126.6
02:11https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=131.67
If you’re already familiar with NumPy,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=131.67
you can skip right to video three in the course.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=134.4
02:18https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=138.54
One last thing: you might’ve heard in school before that math is not a spectatorhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=138.54
sport. Well, yeah—neither is Matplotlib.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=143.97
We’ll be dealing with lots of data, lots of different plot types,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=148.83
several Python libraries, and lots of individual adjustments for each element ofhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=153.21
our graphic. To make the most of this course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=158.94
you’ll really want to copy the codehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=162.18
you see me typing and modify it until you fully understand what’s going on.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=164.13
02:49https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=169.5
Read the documentation,https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=169.5
see what other parameters you can edit, and just have fun with it.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=171.36
This is not a course to be rushed through. Let’s get started.https://realpython.com/courses/python-plotting-matplotlib/continue/#t=175.59
