Matplotlib is the most widely used visualization library in Python. There are two entry points into the library: the pyplot API which mimics MATLAB (widely used in engineering disciplines) and the object-oriented (OO) API. While the pyplot API is convenient for interactive work, to fully exploit the the library the OO API gives the user …
While academic work can certainly be a solitary affair, much of our work is collaborative in nature. Sane solutions to collaborating on computers do exist.

Creating effective data visualizations is an essential task at all stages of computational analysis. Visualization leverages the power of the human visual system to ensure data quality, detect interesting patterns, and communicate novel insights. However, many modern experiments generate raw data with size, dimensionality, or complexity that exceeds the capacity constraints imposed by neurobiology. The …
