-\section{Getting started with Spyder}\label{getting-started-with-spyder}
-
-In this tutorial we will cover the basics of using the Spyder IDE
-(Interactive Development Environment). If you've ever worked with MATLAB
-before, then this will feel familiar. Spyder is a program that allows
-you to write, run and de-bug code.
-
-\subsection{Launching Spyder}\label{launching-spyder}
-
-Using Anaconda we will select the environment we created earlier
-\emph{spyder-dev} and then we can launch spyder from the Home page.
-
-\subsection{Spyder Interface}\label{spyder-interface}

-
-Once you open up Spyder in it's default configuration, you'll see three
-sections; the editor IPython Console, Help viewer. You can customize the
-interface to suit your prefference and needs some of which include,
-rearrange, undock, hide panes. Feel free to set up Spyder as you like.

-\subsubsection{Editor}\label{editor}
-
-This pane is used to write your scripts. The

-\item
- The left sidebar shows line numbers and displays any code analysis
- warnings that exist in the current file. Clicking a line number
- selects the text on that line, and clicking to the right of it sets a
- \href{https://docs.spyder-ide.org/5/panes/debugging.html\#debugging-breakpoints}{breakpoint}.
-\item
- The scrollbars allow vertical and horizontal navigation in a file.
-\item
- The context (right-click) menu displays actions relevant to whatever
- was clicked.
-\item
- The options menu (``Hamburger'' icon at top right) includes useful
- settings and actions relevant to the Editor.
-\item
- The location bar at the top of the Editor pane shows the full path of
- the current file.
-\item
- The tab bar displays the names of all opened files. It also has a
- Browse tabs button (at left) to show every open tab and switch between
- them---which comes in handy if many are open.
-\end{enumerate}
-
-\subsubsection{IPython Console}\label{ipython-console}
-
-This pane allows you to interactively run functions, do math
-computations, assign and modify variables.

- Python objects.
-\item
- Display of Matplotlib graphics in Spyder's
- \href{https://docs.spyder-ide.org/5/panes/plots.html}{Plots} pane, if
- the Inline backend is selected under \texttt{Preferences}
- \textgreater{} \texttt{IPython\ console} \textgreater{}
- \texttt{Graphics} \textgreater{} \texttt{Graphics\ backend}, and
- inline in the console if Mute inline plotting is unchecked under the
- Plots pane's options menu.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsubsection{Variable Explorer}\label{variable-explorer}
-
-This pane shows all the defined variables (objects) stored. This can be
-used to identify the data type of variables, the size and inspect larger
-arrays. Double clicking the value cell opens up a window which allowing
-you to inspect the data in a spreadsheet like view.
