Install Matplotlib Library under Window8.1

There are two ways of doing this:

1. Direct selection of pre-packaged library software, such as Winpython, Python (x, y), Enthought Canopy, or Continuum Anaconda. Matplotlib and other common libraries are already included in these software. Anaconda is recommended here.
2. The standard Python version basically installs the Matplotlib library itself, which is more troublesome. Can be divided into two ways:

• Download the Resource Pack matplotlib-1.5.3.tar.gz (MD5, PGP), installed with the Python setup.py install command. The installation method can refer to the installation pip. This approach can sometimes cause failures due to the need for other libraries;
• Download the WHL file and install it with the PIP command, see the reference article. Take the Python3.5 version as an example to download MATPLOTLIB-1.5.3-CP35-CP35M-WIN32.WHL (MD5). This method is recommended because the required installation package can be automatically detected and downloaded;
