# Introduction This lab will walk you through the process of creating shaded plots in Matplotlib using different techniques. You will learn how to display a colorbar for a shaded plot, avoid outliers in a shaded plot, and display different variables through shade and color. ## 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.
