__NOTOC__
Line 5 ⟶ 7:
In this session, we will explore how to produce clear, informative charts, graphs, and plots with [http://matplotlib.org/ Matplotlib], the most popular toolkit for scientific data visualization in Python.
We'll be focusing on a dataset drawn from Wikipedia and
The dataset used here has been drawn from several sources. The list of biographies and the gender of the biography subjects comes from a datbase called [http://dbpedia.org DBpedia] that is a structured database built from Wikipedia. If determines if articles are biographies from the Wikipedia category system and it determines if the subjects are male or female primarily by looking at whether subject is referred to as ''he'' or ''she'' in the article. Birthdates for people are extracted from the data recorded in Wikipedia in the "infobox" sidebars common to many pages. Data on how people edit Wikipedia is merged onto this dataset from a separate collection of metadata of Wikipedia editing very similar to the one we built for Harry Potter articles the morning.

Line 23 ⟶ 27:

If matplotlib is install correcting, a chart file named '''histograms.pdf''' will appear in the current directory.
