Matplotlib

Matplotlib is the de facto standard to create scientific plots when using Python.

What is it?

animation.py: illustrates how to create a Matplotlib animation and save it as an MP4 file with ffmpeg.
distribution_plot.py: takes a file as input and plots the values as a histogram. Optionally, it can superimpose a specified theoretical distribution as well.
function_plot.py: plots the amplitude of an ideal, damped pendulum. It illustrates how to plot multiple curves on the same plot, how to set axis labels, a title, and arbitrary annotation.
heatmap_plot.py: illustrates how to plot a heatmap.
ising.py: alternative way of creating a GIF movie for the Ising model describing the paramagnetic/ferromagnetic phase transition in the mean field approximation.
surface_plot.py: illustrates how to plot 3D surface plots.
spiral.py: generates pretty picture.
multiple_plots.ipynb: Jupyter notebook illustrating how to create multiple plots in a single figure.
