Matplotlib


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 is capable of producing a wide variety of plots and charts in high quality, from histograms and bar charts to scatter plots and line graphs. It is widely used for data visualization to make data more understandable and accessible, supporting interactive, cross-platform plotting and providing a flexible way to create and manage complex plots. Matplotlib's versatility and ease of use make it a popular choice for scientists, engineers, and data analysts for exploratory data analysis, making it a cornerstone in the Python scientific computing stack alongside NumPy, SciPy, and pandas.
