\section*{Plotting Bessel functions}

\vspace{-5pt}

This simple example uses {\tt\small numpy, scipy} and {\tt\small Matplotlib} to produce a plot of the first six Bessel functions. Two plots are shown, one created by {\tt\small Matplotlib} and a second created by LaTeX using the plotting package {\tt\small pgfplots} and the data exported from {\tt\small Matplotlib}.

If you are using macOS, you may need to use the {\tt\small -Ppythonw} option when running {\tt\small pylatex.sh}. This is a known problem with macOS and {\tt\small Matplotlib}, see\ \url{https://matplotlib.org/faq/osx_framework.html}.
