Matplotlib Tutorial

This repository contains materials for both matplotlib tutorials

Running the tutorial

There are two different ways in which you can set up and go through the tutorial materials. Both of which are outlined in the table below.

Method	Setup	Description
Binder		Run the tutorial notebooks on mybinder.org without installing anything locally (suggested for Windows users).
Local install	Instructions	Download the tutorial notebooks and install the necessary packages (via conda) locally. Setting things up locally can take a few minutes, so we recommend going through the installation steps prior to the tutorial.
