Duncan M. McGreggor

Duncan M. McGreggor, having programmed with GOTOs in the 1980s, has made up for that through community service by making open source contributions for more than 20 years. He has spent a major part of the past 10 years dealing with distributed and scientific computing (in languages ranging from Python, Common Lisp, and Julia to Clojure and Lisp Flavored Erlang). In the 1990s, after serving as a linguist in the US Army, he spent considerable time working on projects related to MATLAB and Mathematica, which was a part of his physics and maths studies at the university. Since the mid 2000s, matplotlib and NumPy have figured prominently in many of the interesting problems that he has solved for his customers. With the most recent addition of the IPython Notebook, matplotlib and the suite of the Python scientific computing libraries remain some of his most important professional tools.

Installing matplotlib

Given that this is a book on an advanced topic and the target audience will have installed matplotlib and the related dependencies more than once (most likely many times), detailed instructions will not be provided here. Two excellent books on matplotlib that cover this topic in their respective first chapters are Matplotlib for Python Developers and matplotlib Plotting Cookbook.

That being said, each chapter will have its own Git repository with scripts to install dependencies and set up Python's virtual environments. These scripts are a great resource, and reading them should provide additional details to those who seek to know more about installing matplotlib and the related libraries in Python virtual environments.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
