I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.

I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.

Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.

you know you are addicted when you feel compelled to make a line plot from four data points

If they define a function that’s fair. I’m of the firm belief that data are points and models/functions are lines.

I have relied on Gnuplot ASCII output over SSH to get me through hard times

Lol I am aware. I just needed a way to quickly scatterplot stuff for intuition. The ASCII output was perfect and I didn’t waste 30 seconds futzing with scp each time I needed to visualize another slice of data.

My MATLAB colleagues were jealous of my Matplotlib because the company didn’t purchase the plotting add-on…
