Which is the recommended way to plot – matplotlib or pylab?
pylab is a module that imports matplotlib.pyplot (for plotting) and numpy (for mathematics and working with arrays) in a single namespace.
Although many examples use pylab, it is no longer recommended. For non-interactive plotting, it is suggested to use pyplot to create the figures and then the OO interface for plotting.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.linspace(0, 2, 100) plt.plot(x, x, label='linear') plt.plot(x, x**2, label='quadratic') plt.plot(x, x**3, label='cubic') plt.xlabel('x label') plt.ylabel('y label') plt.title("Simple Plot") plt.legend() plt.show()
