Here's the code for the plot in the previous post - put in your own image file, of course!

Have you used `subplot_mosaic()` in 's yet?

Or are you a dinosaur like me and still use older functions? After all, `subplot_mosaic()` was only introduced in 2020 in version 3.3

Recently, I decided to finally explore `subplot_mosaic()` and I know I'll never go back to whatever I did before to plot these types of figures!

<code in next post>

@s_gruppetta your python coding book ist the best I ever read about coding ! Thank 🙏🏼you so much 🙏🏼for the free version online. So many things I finally understand - you did an amazing job!

@2mamili Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed it and found it useful

It's designed and written to be a friendly and relaxed approach to learning and while still being thorough, of course.

Let me plug it here by putting the link for anyone else in an early or intermediate stage of learning , especially those going down some sort of data analysis or scientific programming route:

Since moving from to all those years ago, I had used `meshgrid()` the "non-ideal" way for so long–it was just habit from many years of using it in MATLAB

But now I know better, and my memory usage will be happy in so many cases!!

If you've come to directly from , as I have, and you used to use `meshgrid` in MATLAB, you possibly use it in exactly the same way in Python?

I did for a very long time…

But Python has more options which can save you execution time and memory

Here's my exploration of 's and other related functions

@paul @mborus on the web platform it depends on the server, I believe. For phone Apps, I don't know (I use the web platform on a phone, too, it's easier that way!!)

…time to get inspiration for some other tutorials to follow on from this, which remains the most popular post on the blog, **by far**

My favourite textbook of all time – had been in storage for a while as we did a long, convoluted, house move…

It's back, safe and sound, nicely weathered and thumbed from all those years of use…

@s_gruppetta This kind of dynamic 3D plotting is very useful for illustrating physics concepts like your example here, but in business applications it's indeed much less common and, in general, not necessary (at least in my company). But the fact that it's not used all over the place only enhances the coolness of this example 😉 I will certainly enjoy this!

@s_gruppetta this is really awesome! Given that it's for learning the coding side, I won't mark you down for using explicit integration 😜.

It's amazing how dynamic visualization can really solidify complex topics. Even when I've done iterative static computation in the past, dynamically-updating matplotlib plots really helped give me more intuition about the problem I was trying to solve.

@mborus case in point, typo from rushing and now I really want to get rid of that extra 's

@s_gruppetta @mborus We'll update this server (ETA unknown) to import some of the useful features from the main branch (vanilla Mastodon). An edit button is one of those. :)

@trinsec @mborus So toots will become mutable for us too, soon. Hurray!
