The following document is meant as an outline of what is covered in this assignment.

Typographical Errors

None yet!

Comments

• You may get warnings (so, so many warnings) about "The PostScript backend does not support transparency; partially transparent artists will be rendered opaque." - ignore them.

Specific Problems

• Be sure to put the appropriate version of the honor code -- if you use the examples from Pundit, the original author is either DukeEgr93 or Michael R. Gustafson II depending on how you want to cite things.

Chapra 2.22

• Don't stare at the top half of the figure too long, or you will get sleepy. Very sleeeeeeepy…
• Since you are adding two different kinds of axes, you will need to create the figure first and then create two different axis handles - a regular one for the top and a 3-D one for the bottom.
• Use fig.set_size_inches(6, 8, forward=True) to make the graph the correct size.
• Don't forget fig.tight_layout()

Chapra 3.9

• To see all the colormaps, after importing the cm group just type

help(cm)

to see the names or go to Colormap Reference to see the color maps - only the ones listed with the help command are actually installed. Avoid the qualitative maps, flag, and prism.

Chapra 15.5

• Be sure to convert the original data sets into appropriately-shaped matrices before plotting.
• Use the ax.set() command for labels and tick locations and remember the kwargs to set tick locations are xticks, yticks, and (though not needed here) zticks; those will take an array or list of where you want ticks.

Sphere

• It should look like a sphere! Use fig.set_size_inches(6, 6, forward=True) to make the graph the correct size - if the figure window isn't square, the sphere will not actually look...spherical.
• Don't forget to make it not blue!
