I often have trouble converting from Python+Matplotlib to Julia+PyPlot.
Even with your code example, I don't really know what to do. Where do I get
that "plt" variable? For future reference, how would I know that the
figaspect() function would be located in "plt[:figaspect]". Is there a
general rule I can follow?

I'm sure you are busy, but is there a chance you might write a tutorial for
PyPlot, showing how to convert Python code one finds around the web into
equivalent Julia code?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
