Matplotlib - Pyplot API
Matplotpb - Pyplot API
A new untitled notebook with the .ipynbextension (stands for the IPython notebook) is displayed in the new tab of the browser.
matplotpb.pyplot is a collection of command style functions that make Matplotpb work pke MATLAB. Each Pyplot function makes some change to a figure. For example, a function creates a figure, a plotting area in a figure, plots some pnes in a plotting area, decorates the plot with labels, etc.
