+For the most part, direct use of the object-oriented library is

Modules include:
- axes: defines the Axes class. Most pylab commands are
- wrappers for Axes methods. The axes module is the
- highest level of OO access to the library.
- figure: defines Figure class.
- artist: defines the Artist base class for all classes
- that draw things.
- line: defines Line2D class for drawing lines and markers
- patches: defines classes for drawing polygons
- text: defines Text, TextWithDash, and Annotate classes
- image: defines AxesImage and FigureImage classes
- collections: classes for efficient drawing of groups of
- lines or polygons
- colors: classes for interpreting color specifications
- and for making colormaps
- cm: colormaps and the ScalarMappable mixin class for
- providing color mapping functionality to other

The base matplotlib namespace includes:
- rcParams: a dictionary of default configuration
- settings. It is initialized by code which may be
- overridded by a matplotlibrc file.
- rc(): a function for setting groups of rcParams values
- use(): a function for setting the matplotlib backend.
- If used, this function must be called immediately
- after importing matplotlib for the first time. In
- particular, it must be called *before* importing
- pylab (if pylab is imported).
