# Matplotlib
## Overview
Matplotlib is Python's foundational visualization library for creating static, animated, and interactive plots. This skill provides guidance on using matplotlib effectively, covering both the pyplot interface (MATLAB-style) and the object-oriented API (Figure/Axes), along with best practices for creating publication-quality visualizations.
## When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Creating any type of plot or chart (line, scatter, bar, histogram, heatmap, contour, etc.)
- Generating scientific or statistical visualizations
- Customizing plot appearance (colors, styles, labels, legends)
- Creating multi-panel figures with subplots
- Exporting visualizations to various formats (PNG, PDF, SVG, etc.)
