This recipe introduces us to the Matplotlib
Python module, which enables us to create visual charts using Python 3.6 and above.
The URL, http://matplotlib.org/users/screenshots.html, is a great place to start for exploring the world of Matplotlib
, and it teaches us how to create many charts that are not presented in this chapter.
In order to use the Matplotlib
Python module, we first have to install this module as well as several other related Python modules.
If you are running a version of Python older than 3.6, I would encourage you to upgrade your version, as we will be using the Python pip
module throughout this chapter to install the required Python modules, and pip
is installed with 3.6 and above.
