Summary
In this chapter, we covered a lot of detailed material by starting with a high-level logical overview of matplotlib's structure. We then learned about the source code and examined how the matplotlib modules were laid out. We figured out the modules that were associated with different logical layers. Finally, we peered into the depths of matplotlib by tracing the function and method calls through the code. This was done by using a sample script in an interactive Python session.
One of the most commonly recommended practices for open source developers who want to improve is to read copious amounts of source code for the projects that you use the most and care about deeply. Similarly, as you develop your mastery of matplotlib, you will find ...
