TUTORIAL 3 - Python

IMPLEMENTING PYHTON IN QUARTO

I relied heavily on the Quarto documentation for this tutorial.

The basic things I learned were:

1. Install Python (again). I downloaded the newest version from the Python website.
2. Install the `jupyter’ package using the terminal:

• Windows: py -m pip install jupyter
• Mac: python3 -m pip install jupyter

3. Install the modules you need using the terminal (Mac examples below):

• python3 -m pip install numpy
• python3 -m pip install matplotlib

After I did this, the code from the Quarto website example (below) seemed to work!

QUARTO EXAMPLE CODE

For a demonstration of a line plot on a polar axis, see Figure 1.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()
