============================================

.. readingtime::

The documentation is in four parts, and which one you want depends on what you
are trying to do rather than on how much you already know.

.. list-table::
    :widths: auto

    * - :doc:`../tutorials/index`
      - Lessons to work through. Start here if the quick start left you wanting
        to know what you had just drawn.
    * - :doc:`../howtos/index`
      - Recipes for when you already know what you want.
    * - :doc:`../explanation/index`
      - Why the diagram is the shape it is.
    * - :doc:`../reference/index`
      - The API, the command line, every configuration option, and the glossary.
    * - :doc:`../gallery/index`
      - Finished examples to work backwards from.

If you would rather browse by subject than by intent, :doc:`../topics` lists
every page against the topics it covers.
