We often jump in and out of Matplotlib and find the minimum we need to create the plot we want. However, getting an understanding of what's happening behind the scenes in the library can be very fruitful.
In this Chapter of The Python Coding Book, I look at some of the fundamentals on what makes up a Matplotlib figure, what's the difference between `Figure` and `Axes` objects, and also get a taste of 3D plots and animations, such as the one below!

When we learn a new topic, it becomes an "acquaintance" of ours. It's only when it becomes our "best friend" that we can truly say we've mastered the topic.
In this standalone Chapter of The Python Coding Book, I describe the mental picture or story I use to look "behind the scenes" of a computer program.
Started publishing my first Python coding book at http://thepythoncodingbook.com Most of the text existed as detailed notes for several years but I'm now in the process of revising this thoroughly to make them into a book. Share with anyone keen to learn #coding in #Python
