7 | | -Probably the most common way people use matplotlib is with the |
8 | | -procedural interface, which follows the matlab/IDL/mathematica |
9 | | -approach of using simple procedures like "plot" or "title" to modify |
10 | | -the current figure. These examples are included in the "pylab_examples" |
11 | | -directory. If you want to write more robust scripts, e.g., for |
12 | | -production use or in a web application server, you will probably want |
13 | | -to use the matplotlib API for full control. These examples are found |
