Advananced plotting exercise

[valentineap]

Axes, transforms, subplots, and other goodies. Also some nice data from the good people at the Bureau of Meteorology...

Reviewed, good, just added two more things:

• plt.annotate(), in addition of plt.text()
• tried to clarify the use of Axes for plotting, because I know that the difference between using ax.plot() or plt.plot() can be confusing for a beginner.

Well, I’ve learned something from this course anyway… plt.annotate() looks useful!!!

Did you push this, @charlesll ? I ask because I think the current set up uses fig and axis objects implicitly, rather than explicitly... which might be more confusing in the end?

Am making some modifications to be more explicit. Feel free to undo if they go to far!

[valentineap]

He did; I’ve seen it… :-)

I think we start off implicit and then discuss being explicit towards the end. Feel free to modify as you see fit though!

@oscarbranson has rewritten a lot of the stuff in this exercise and made it much better.

I now realise I am a bit of a plotting dinosaur...

Looks good, nothing to add or change, closing issue.
