pylab quick reference? (matplotlib)
Hello all, Does anyone know of a quick reference for the various plotting functions for pylab? I'm just getting started with this after years of work with gnuplot. I found this http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html which is very comprehensive and would be good for digging into specific commands. What I'm looking for is something small enough to print out ( 10-20 pages) that gives a sufficient overview so that I know what's available. I've looked on the web without much success. I'd be grateful if you have any pointers. Thanks! Esmail -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
RE: pylab quick reference? (matplotlib)
Not exactly what you've described, but I like this... I just spot the type of plot I'm looking for, copy the code, and I'm off... http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html I like this technique better than any formal documentation almost. Btw, there is a specific matplotlib list as well. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users Hope this helps, Ben R. -Original Message- From: python-list-bounces+bjracine=glosten@python.org [mailto:python-list-bounces+bjracine=glosten@python.org] On Behalf Of Esmail Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 8:28 AM To: python-list@python.org Subject: pylab quick reference?
