Re: [Matplotlib-users] Why is wrapper module called "pylab" ?

[Ryan M. <rm...@gm...>]

They're the same plotting interface, just different names.  Pylab pulls in a
few extra functions that aren't specific to plotting, but aid in providing
matlab-alike functionality.  To use matplotlib.pyplot instead of pylab for
any of the examples, just replace lines of:

    import pylab

with:

    import matplotlib.pyplot
