The Windows OS has no canonical package manager to provide easy inclusion of the dependencies that are
279+
required for the Matplotlib build. However, documentation and scripts that build the FreeType, zlib,
280+
and libpng dependencies from source code and integrate them into the Matplotlib build can be found
281+
at `matplotlib-winbuild <https://github.com/MaxvandenBoom/matplotlib-winbuild>`_.

If you are building your own Matplotlib wheels (or sdists), note that any DLLs

that you copy into the source tree will be packaged too.

The current master branch (which will become matplotlib 3.3) includes its own copy of Qhull; and by default downloads and builds
295+
its own copy of FreeType. The only non-python dependency that you would require is Visual Studio 2015 or later.
