"""
This is an object-orient plotting library.

A procedural interface is provided by the companion pyplot module,
which may be imported directly, e.g::

    from matplotlib.pyplot import *

To include numpy functions too, use::

    from pylab import *

or using ipython::

    ipython -pylab

For the most part, direct use of the object-oriented library is
encouraged when programming; pyplot is primarily for working
interactively.  The
exceptions are the pyplot commands :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.figure`,
:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.subplot`,
:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.subplots`,
:func:`~matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg.show`, and
:func:`~pyplot.savefig`, which can greatly simplify scripting.

Modules include:

    :mod:`matplotlib.axes`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` class.  Most pylab
        commands are wrappers for :class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes`
        methods.  The axes module is the highest level of OO access to
        the library.

    :mod:`matplotlib.figure`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure` class.

    :mod:`matplotlib.artist`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.artist.Artist` base class for
        all classes that draw things.

    :mod:`matplotlib.lines`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` class for
        drawing lines and markers

    :mod:`matplotlib.patches`
        defines classes for drawing polygons

    :mod:`matplotlib.text`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.text.Text`,
        :class:`~matplotlib.text.TextWithDash`, and
        :class:`~matplotlib.text.Annotate` classes

    :mod:`matplotlib.image`
        defines the :class:`~matplotlib.image.AxesImage` and
        :class:`~matplotlib.image.FigureImage` classes

    :mod:`matplotlib.collections`
        classes for efficient drawing of groups of lines or polygons

    :mod:`matplotlib.colors`
        classes for interpreting color specifications and for making
        colormaps

    :mod:`matplotlib.cm`
        colormaps and the :class:`~matplotlib.image.ScalarMappable`
        mixin class for providing color mapping functionality to other
        classes

    :mod:`matplotlib.ticker`
        classes for calculating tick mark locations and for formatting
        tick labels

    :mod:`matplotlib.backends`
        a subpackage with modules for various gui libraries and output
        formats

The base matplotlib namespace includes:

    :data:`~matplotlib.rcParams`
        a global dictionary of default configuration settings.  It is
        initialized by code which may be overridded by a matplotlibrc
        file.

    :func:`~matplotlib.rc`
        a function for setting groups of rcParams values

    :func:`~matplotlib.use`
        a function for setting the matplotlib backend.  If used, this
        function must be called immediately after importing matplotlib
        for the first time.  In particular, it must be called
        **before** importing pylab (if pylab is imported).

matplotlib was initially written by John D. Hunter (jdh2358 at
gmail.com) and is now developed and maintained by a host of others.

    Set the current rc params.  Group is the grouping for the rc, eg.

    ``axes.facecolor``, the group is ``axes``, and so on.  Group may
    also be a list or tuple of group names, eg. (*xtick*, *ytick*).
    *kwargs* is a dictionary attribute name/value pairs, eg::

      rc('lines', linewidth=2, color='r')

    sets the current rc params and is equivalent to::

      rcParams['lines.linewidth'] = 2
      rcParams['lines.color'] = 'r'

    users:

    =====   =================

    'ls'    'linestyle'

    'ec'    'edgecolor'

    'aa'    'antialiased'

    Thus you could abbreviate the above rc command as::

          rc('lines', lw=2, c='r')

              'size'   : 'larger'}

      rc('font', **font)  # pass in the font dict as kwargs

    This enables you to easily switch between several configurations.
