<p>These tutorials cover proposed APIs of any complexity. These are here
to document features that we have released, but want to get user
feedback on before committing to them. Please have a look, try them
out and give us feedback on <a class="reference external" href="https://gitter.im/matplotlib/matplotlib">gitter</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://discourse.matplotlib.org">discourse</a>, or the <a class="reference external" href="https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/matplotlib-users">the mailing list</a>! But,
be aware that we may change the APIs without warning in subsequent
versions.</p>
