Introduction
In this lab, you will learn how to use path effects in Matplotlib to add special effects to your plots. Path effects allow you to add custom strokes, shadows, and other visual effects to your text and plot elements.
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.
