==Comparison with MATLAB==

Pyplot is a Matplotlib module that provides a MATLAB-like interface.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://matplotlib.org/index.html|title=Matplotlib: Python plotting — Matplotlib 3.2.0 documentation|website=matplotlib.org|access-date=2020-03-14}}</ref> Matplotlib is designed to be as usable as MATLAB, with the ability to use Python, and the advantage of being free and [[Open source|open-source]].

==Animations==

Matplotlib-animation<ref>{{cite web|url=https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/animations/animations.html|title=Animations using Matplotlib|publisher=matplotlib.org|accessdate=30 Aug 2024}}</ref> capabilities are intended for visualizing how certain data changes. However, one can use the functionality in any way required.

These animations are defined as a function of frame number (or time). In other words, one defines a function that takes a frame number as input and defines/updates the matplotlib-figure based on it.

<blockquote> The time at the beginning of a frame-number since the start of animation can be calculated as - <math>\text{time} = \frac{\text{frame-number}-1}{\text{FPS}}</math></blockquote>
