MLOSS: Whistler 2008 pylab interface Plotting should just work Easy plots should be easy GUI / interactive complexity should be managed ipython to the rescue IPython 0.6.12_cvs -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction to IPython's features. %magic -> Information about IPython's 'magic' % functions. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more. Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment help(matplotlib) -> generic matplotlib information help(pylab) -> matlab-compatible commands from matplotlib help(plotting) -> plotting commands In [1]: plot([1,2,3])‏
