We will begin by reviewing the three basic elements of every graph: the figure, the set of axes and the plot itself, how they are created and customized, we will see the resources we have to format our plots, and we will describe the main 2D and 3D plots that can be generated with this library. We will finish by mentioning the ability of matplotlib to generate maps and plots on them.
