pylab quick reference? (matplotlib)

[Benjamin J. Racine]

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.

Subject: 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
