The Menpo notebooks are designed to be a set of hands-on examples for using the Menpo ecosystem. They are designed to be complementary to the User Guide within the documentation. If you haven't read the User Guide yet, we suggest you do this before attempting to run the notebooks.
The notebooks give a brief introduction to the major concepts within Menpo. They also provide examples of common patterns that you may wish to accomplish using Menpo.
