'''Matplotlib''' is a [[Plotter|plotting]] [[Library (computer science)|library]] for [[Python (programming language)|Python]] which uses [[Syntax#Syntax in computer science|syntax]] similar to [[MATLAB]]. It wasis written and maintained primarily by John Hunter, and is distributed under a BSD-style license.
