Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animate, and creative visualizations using Python. It is an essential part of the Python data science stack.

Matplotlib is a tool for data visualization on a larger scale. As an open-source alternative to MATLAB, it can help scientists & data analysts turn data points into an interactive visualization. It can be run from both the Python shell and plotting window pop-ups.
