Welcome back! Matplotlib is one of the most important packages for Python, I’ve personally used it for many data science related tasks, so what if there was a cheat sheet that showcased the basics of this package? Well, there are actually a ton of them, so let’s talk about the best Matplotlib cheat sheet that was actually developed by the creators themselves. If you want to jump straight to the sheet, check out the link below:

Let’s look over some of the key components of these sheets. Starting off, these sheets are stored on GitHub, so you will be able to see a few of the different sheets available. On the main sheet, you will see some of the basics (quick start) functions of this package:
