Matplotlib is a package for Python that allows for the creation of graphs through python code. It contains a variety of options to create detailed and customizable graphs for large variety of options.

I use Matplotlib to create graphs that can display the data that I am processing in a readable and consistent manner. Using Matplotlib over graphing on a program such as Microsoft Excel is necessary due to the extreme amount of data points. When looking over more than a couple of orbits, excel becomes unusable and using a program such a python with matplotlib is necessary. To the right is an example of a graph created with matplotlib.
