Running the tests is simple. Make sure you have nose installed and run
the script :file:`tests.py` in the root directory of the distribution.
The script can take any of the usual `nosetest arguments`_, such as

=================== ===========
``-v`` increase verbosity
``-d`` detailed error messages
``--with-coverage`` enable collecting coverage information
=================== ===========

To run a single test from the command line, you can provide a
dot-separated path to the module followed by the function separated by
a colon, eg. (this is assuming the test is installed)::

python tests.py matplotlib.tests.test_simplification:test_clipping

An alternative implementation that does not look at command line
arguments works from within Python::

import matplotlib
matplotlib.test()
