Python graphics

Python has several libraries that can be used for generating graphics. The most popular ones are matplotlib and seaborn.

Matplotlib is more or less a copy of MATLAB’s plotting capabilities, so if you are familiar with MATLAB, you will feel at home with matplotlib. Seaborn is a high-level interface for drawing attractive and informative statistical graphics. It’s a little bit like ggplot2 in R.
