Question

I like the matplotlib documentation at this web address,

http://matplotlib.org/index.html

but I cannot access it when my laptop computer is offline (traveling, etc.)

Can anyone recommend a way to download the html docs for matplotlib?
This is possible for the python docs.

Thanks.
Bill

The whole matplotlib.org website is stored in a github repository. You can download the whole thing from:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.github.com

(direct zip link: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.github.com/archive/master.zip)

The result will probably be a pretty big zip file. Alternatively, as others have said, you can build the documentation yourself by following:

http://matplotlib.org/devel/documenting_mpl.html
