Re: [Matplotlib-users] Which api to learn?

[Michiel de H. <mjl...@ya...>]

99.9% of the time I am using pyplot, as it usually does what I want without me having to understand an api.
I don't care so much if pyplot agrees with matlab or not, but it should be something easy that new users can pick up quickly.

Best,

 I've never used matlab (and hope
 never to have to).  But I've been using pyplot 
 api for mpl for quite a while.
 
 Is there any good reason to move to the "native" mpl api and
 drop pyplot?  I ask 
 because as I understand, pyplot is intended as a matlab
 workalike, and since I 
 never learned matlab I have no need for that crutch. 
 OTOH, I'm quite used to 
 the pyplot api at this point.
