#### New to Plotly?
29
-
Plotly's Python library is free and open source! [Get started](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/) by downloading the client and [reading the primer](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/).
30
-
<br>You can set up Plotly to work in [online](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#initialization-for-online-plotting) or [offline](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#initialization-for-offline-plotting) mode, or in [jupyter notebooks](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#start-plotting-online).
31
-
<br>We also have a quick-reference [cheatsheet](https://images.plot.ly/plotly-documentation/images/python_cheat_sheet.pdf) (new!) to help you get started!
32
-
#### Version Check
33
-
Plotly's Python API is updated frequently. Run `pip install plotly --upgrade` to update your Plotly version.

The [OHLC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-high-low-close_chart) chart (for open, high, low and close) is a style of financial chart describing open, high, low and close values for a given `x` coordinate (most likely time). The tip of the lines represent the `low` and `high` values and the horizontal segments represent the `open` and `close` values. Sample points where the close value is higher (lower) then the open value are called increasing (decreasing). By default, increasing items are drawn in green whereas decreasing are drawn in red.
