Introduction
Matplotlib is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its numerical mathematics extension NumPy. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications using general-purpose GUI toolkits like Tkinter, wxPython, Qt, or GTK. Matplotlib was originally developed by John D. Hunter in 2003.
This tutorial will guide you on how to use the .step()
and .plot()
functions in Matplotlib.
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.
