Cartopy: a mapping library featuring object-oriented map projection definitions, and arbitrary point, line, polygon and image transformation capabilities.Basemap: map plotting with various map projections, coastlines, and political boundaries.Some are separate downloads, others ship with the Matplotlib source code but have external dependencies. Several toolkits are available which extend Matplotlib functionality. Matplotlib has pledged not to support Python 2 past 2020 by signing the Python 3 Statement. Matplotlib 1.4 is the last version to support Python 2.6. Python 3 support started with Matplotlib 1.2. Matplotlib 2.0.x supports Python versions 2.7 through 3.10. Matplotlib is a NumFOCUS fiscally sponsored project. Michael Droettboom was nominated as matplotlib's lead developer shortly before John Hunter's death in August 2012 and was further joined by Thomas Caswell. Since then it has an active development community and is distributed under a BSD-style license. Matplotlib was originally written by John D. There is also a procedural "pylab" interface based on a state machine (like OpenGL), designed to closely resemble that of MATLAB, though its use is discouraged. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications using general-purpose GUI toolkits like Tkinter, wxPython, Qt, or GTK. Matplotlib is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its numerical mathematics extension NumPy.
