Data Visualisation

My first venture into matplotlib using the book Python Crash Course and python3

Page 310 - to see available styles:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.available

Running from the Shell

I have a venv containing matplotlib To run a python script outside of IntelliJ, I need to activate the venv before running the script e.g

source venv/bin/activate python3 mpl_squares.py

Typically the steps you always takes are:

git clone <repo>
cd <repo>
pip install virtualenv (if you don't already have virtualenv installed)
virtualenv venv to create your new environment (called 'venv' here)
source venv/bin/activate to enter the virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt to install the requirements in the current environment
