Today I found out that the reason my code wasn't porting to other people's machines is that #pyplot changed some functionality and the rcParams['text.latex.preamble'] now requires a single string, not a list of strings.

This is the problem with my "don't update or you'll break it" mentality -- everyone else is updating!

Another week of data analysis for my #PhDThesis comes to an end! Working a bit on image analysis to determine the resolution of the imaging system I've used on the atomic clouds. And trying to write a general function that manages to fit oscillations with different properties. (So, mostly I learned new #numpy and #pyplot functions :blobcatgiggle: )

Udemy, #python learning update:

I know know the language basics, and how classes and objects work.

It's not horrifically dissimilar to #PHP or #Javascript which I already had a good understanding of, so it's taken a LOT of concentration to not be bored..... I never bothered learning about classes with PHP though, so at least I know what they are used for now.

Now the course is going to teach me about #pyplot and #matplotlib so that will be entirely new for me.

I am unreasonably delighted to find out that you can xkcd-ify your graphs using pyplot (python).

Disclaimer, I have not tried to do this myself.
