Introduction to Matplotlib

Matplotlib is a Python library that allows you to create high-quality visualizations, such as line plots, bar charts, scatter plots, histograms, and more. It provides a flexible and intuitive interface for creating static, animated, and interactive plots, making it an essential tool for data visualization and analysis.

Installation

Before you can start using Matplotlib, you need to install it. You can do this using pip, the Python package manager:

bash pip install matplotlib
