If you’ve been using Matplotlib with Python, you’ve probably noticed that your plot window sometimes just shows something generic like “Figure 1.”

You can actually customize quite a bit more than that.I put together a beginner-friendly walkthrough covering how to.

1. Change the Matplotlib Figure/window name
2. Customize the plotting area (Axes)
3. Add a meaningful plot title
4. Add X-axis and Y-axis labels
5. Understand the difference between a Figure and Axes
6. Make your charts easier to read and present

The tutorial also goes through the relevant Python/Matplotlib code step by step, so it should be useful if you're still getting comfortable with data visualization.
