Advanced Matplotlib
Advanced matplotlib techniques enable sophisticated visualizations.
Subplots and Layouts
plt.subplots(2, 2) creates 2x2 grid. ax[i, j] accesses subplots. sharex, sharey links axes.
GridSpec enables complex layouts. fig.add_gridspec() defines grid. subplots with grid spec.
Styling
plt.style.use('seaborn') applies styles. Colors: 'C0', 'C1' for categorical. linestyle, marker options.
Spines, ticks, labels customize appearance. Grid lines with ax.grid().
Animations
FuncAnimation creates animated plots. update function called per frame. blit=True optimizes rendering.
Key Takeaways
- Subplot grids organize multiple plots
- Styles and colors enhance visual appeal
- Animations visualize dynamic processes
