-Writing a new pyplot function
------------------------------
-
-A large portion of the pyplot interface is automatically generated by the
-`boilerplate.py` script (in the root of the source tree). To add or remove
-a plotting method from pyplot, edit the appropriate list in `boilerplate.py`
-and then run the script which will update the content in
-`lib/matplotlib/pyplot.py`. Both the changes in `boilerplate.py` and
-`lib/matplotlib/pyplot.py` should be checked into the repository.
-
-Note: boilerplate.py looks for changes in the installed version of matplotlib
-and not the source tree. If you expect the pyplot.py file to show your new
-changes, but they are missing, this might be the cause.
-
-Install your new files by running `python setup.py build` and `python setup.py
-install` followed by `python boilerplate.py`. The new pyplot.py file should now
-have the latest changes.
