[Matplotlib-users] newbie, please give me some pointers where to start for the shown graph

[Dipankar “Dipu” Ganguly]

I have a newbie question…

What does this syntax really do? I would really like to understand the basic principles invoked here, especially the function of the “.” separator. Is there a tutorial that will help me with such things?

Thanks.
