TUTORIALS FOR CHRISTIE

we need to create a number of things at the intersection of blender and python. one interesting development => given the fact that students learning python in the sciences and social sciences are going to be using matplotlib, it could make sense to have the learning trajectory we create match what they encounter with matplotlib.

so if the very first thing is simply

ELEMENTS

things to do/create:

• basic scatterplot
• axes
• line plot
• histogram
• population pyramids?
• streamplot (weather?)
• monochromatic and multichromatic color-scales
• bar charts
• pie charts
