# Introduction In this lab, we will learn how to use the `floating_axes` module of Matplotlib to create custom plots with non-rectangular shapes. This module is useful when we need to plot data on non-Cartesian coordinate systems, such as polar or logarithmic plots. We will demonstrate how to create a scatter plot, a bar plot, and a sector plot using different coordinate systems. ## VM Tips After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the **Notebook** tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice. Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook. If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
