Can anyone recommend a good matplot tutorial. I am a complete beginner – but have used similar software (matlab, R etc), in my halcyon days at University (i.e. a long time ago).
A google search brings up a list of dubious quality, and the ‘official’ docs are too terse, or provide examples that are more ‘edge case’ (e.g. drawing dolphins swimming in a bubble), than one is likely to meet in practise.
I want a manual that provides the following information in a well structured manner:
- Introduction to the data types
- Introduction to 2D plotting with some simple practical examples (simple 2D graphs)
- Introduction to 3D plotting with some simple practical examples (simple 2D graphs: contour and surface)
[Edit]
I’m new to both Python and matplot (but not new to programming – I have a C/C++ background)
There is a nice book called “Matplotlib for Python Developers”
It doesn’t cover 3D graphics, though.
