==Plot Types==
[[Matplotlib]] supports various types of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional plots. The support for two dimensional plots is robust including: line plots, histogram, scatter plots, polar plots, box plots, pie charts, bar graphs, and heatmaps. The support for three dimensional plots was added later and while it is good, it is not as robust as 2 dimensional plots. You can have 3 dimensional line plots, scatter plots, and surface plots. You can determine what plot type you need by considering a few factors:<br/>'''Comparing a relationship between different variables:''' line plot, heatmap, contour, scatter<br/>'''Looking for distribution of your dataset:''' box plot, histogram, histogram<br/>'''Comparing different categories:''' box plot, pie chart, bar graph
