This contains instructions for opening the .pkl file containing the data behind the figures. The .pkl file is strutured using dictionaries

Opening the data file
---------------------

The data file is encoded using the pickle package in python 3.6. The data is all stored within numpy arrays. The authors recommend downloading the anaconda distribution of python.

import pickle
import numpy
with open('chapter2.pkl', 'rb') as f:
