# About Matplotlib

Matplotlib is the primary plotting library in Python. It makes easy things easy, and hard things possible. You can provide it lists or numpy arrays and it can generate virtually any plot you'd like.

Please refer to the Matplotlib introduction page [here](https://matplotlib.org/users/intro.html).
