Für that, it sacrifices plotting performance.
Just watch out for one ideological difference: Matplotlib tries, above all, to be as precise as possible. Matplotlib stands heads and shoulders above Matlab's plotting. Not every toolbox has a great equivalence in Python, just like not every Python package has a decent counterpart in Matlab, but when it comes to plotting, there is no discussion. In numerous occasions I have created plots for my research and later my colleagues asked "how did you do that", because such plots would simply not have been possible in Matlab. I'm Matplotlib, literally every single plot object from figures, axes, and plots, down to individual ticks, lines, spines, labels, legend parts, polygons, or points is an object that can be changed, observed, replaced, and extended. You mention that Matlab figures, axes, and plots have manipulateable handles. There is no discussion whatsoever: Matplotlib is WAY more capable and flexible than Matlab plotting. Most of my colleagues use Matlab, I teach Matlab, but for my work, I mostly use Python. If you don't like the defaults, you can also put in your startup files things like "set(0,'DefaultAxesLineWidth',2,'DefaultAxesXGrid','on')".ĭoes Matplotlib have anything like this consistency, detail, and capacity for under-the-hood control? Since version R2014b the default plot settings are much improved, but more importantly, the fundamental "graphics objects" of figure, axes, line, surface, text, and their properties and handles (capable of being passed to arbitrary functions can Matplotlib do this?) are extremely customizeable and useful. And perhaps most of all is its extremely robust plotting tools. It doesn't have awesome versatility and mind-blowing list comprehension of python, and one can find many annoying "hack"-solutions in Matlab (like Name-Value pairs intstead of **kwargs) - but the "everything is a matrix" concept, shorthand matrix operations, speed compared to NumPy (they are about equivalent), and parallel computing tools are quite appealing for certain fields. Now while Matlab gets a lot of flack, it does have some appeal. The biggest thing I've been concerned with is how Matplotlib (and other tools suggestions welcome) will compare to Matlab plotting tools. I'm thinking of trying to do some research work in Python, at least in part. Introduction to Programming with Python (from Microsoft Virtual Academy).
