                                              Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python.

                                              Check out our home page for more information.

                                              Matplotlib produces publication-quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, Python/IPython shells, web application servers, and various graphical user interface toolkits.
