Low-level Python plotting for scientific figures: publication-quality line, scatter, bar, heatmap, contour, 3D; multi-panel layouts; fine control of every element. PNG/PDF/SVG export. Use seaborn for quick stats, plotly for interactive.

Write Python code to create a 2-panel horizontal subplot figure and set bold panel identifiers ('A' and 'B') positioned on the top-left corner of each subplot title area.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Subplot titles set panel labels using loc='left'. | Missed | Passed |
| Subplot panel titles set fontweight='bold'. | Missed | Passed |

Matplotlib is Python's foundational visualization library for creating static, animated, and interactive plots. It provides both a MATLAB-style pyplot interface and an object-oriented API for full control over figures, axes, and artists. Essential for generating publication-quality scientific figures.
