Constellate Tutorial

Adding a Plot

Constellate displays plots alongside Markdown cells. This lets you explain what's going on or offer context on the same screen. Let's add a graph and some explanation. Add a Markdown cell after the first one you added above, and add the text below or freestyle your own:

## Example Graph

The standard <span class='text-c1'>normal</span> distribution has the probability density function
$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{-\frac{1}{2} x^2}$$

The standard <span class='text-c2'>Cauchy</span> distribution has probability density function
$$\frac{1}{\pi(x^2 + 1)}$$

Then, in a Python cell below that one, add the following code or write your own:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

xx = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)

plt.plot(xx, np.exp(0.5 * xx ** 2) / np.sqrt(2 * np.pi), label='Normal Distribution')
plt.plot(xx, 1 / (np.pi * (xx ** 2 + 1)), label='Cauchy Distribution')
plt.legend()

Running the cell in a notebook should produce a graph.¹ Now let's see how Constellate displays your new output.
