MATPLOTLIB NOTES

Cheney

Ok! It Is Very Cheney

• Property: animated
• r"$\sum_{i=1}^{N}i^2$"will be converted to tex_math
• Function: tight_layout could fine tune the ticklabels, axis labels and titles

Artist Tutorial

• Three layers to the matplotlib API:
  • matplotlib.backend_bases.FigureCanvas
  • matplotlib.backend_bases.Renderer
  • matplotlib.artist.Artist, which is the most import one for a typical user
• Two types of Artists:
  • primitives: the standard graphical objects: Line2D, Rectangle, Text
  • containers: Axis, Axes(Subplots), Figure
• matpotlib.artist.getp(art), get art.property
• Axis: the drawing of the tick lines, the grid lines,
  the tick labels and the axis labels
• Tick, another container rarely used
• Actually, matplotlib could generate math symbols as images which are going to be inserted into MD file
