When setting up matplotlib on Windows you need numpy. To install numpy you need the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. After this is installed you can run the command:

pip install matplotlib 

The link to the compiler is https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145.

I'm trying to understand packing problems with rectangles in L-shapes. 

This is a cool fun thing. Have to try it.
