A matplotlib Library is a Python 2D graphics plotting library.
- Context:
- It can be intended to make publication quality plots using a syntax familiar to MATLAB users.
- Example(s):
- matplotlib v2.0.2[1] (2017-05-05).
- matplotlib v1.3.1.
- matplotlib v1.2.
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Document Figure, Histogram, NumPy, Object-Oriented Programming, Qt (Framework), GNUplot, OpenGL.

- QUOTE: matplotlib strives to produce publication quality 2D graphics for interactive graphing, scientific publishing, user interface development and web application servers targeting multiple user interfaces and hardcopy output formats. There is a ‘pylab’ mode which emulates matlab graphics.

- matplotlib is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its NumPy numerical mathematics extension. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications using general-purpose GUI toolkits like wxPython, Qt, or GTK+. There is also a procedural "pylab" interface based on a state machine (like OpenGL), designed to closely resemble that of MATLAB. SciPy makes use of matplotlib.
matplotlib was originally written by John Hunter, has an active development community, and is distributed under a BSD-style license. Michael Droettboom was nominated as matplotlib's lead developer shortly before John Hunter's death in 2012. , matplotlib 1.3.1 supports Python versions 2.6 through 3.3. Matplotlib 1.2 is the first version of matplotlib to support Python 3.x.

- QUOTE: matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, the python and ipython shell (ala MATLAB®* or Mathematica®†), web application servers, and six graphical user interface toolkits.
matplotlib tries to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, errorcharts, scatterplots, etc, with just a few lines of code.
