Even better, dump pyplot and use primarily the OO API. Asside from
folks that dont want to change anything when moving from Matlab, we
should all be using teh primarily OO API.

is it really that hard to type:

ax.plot()

rather than

plot() ?

And when you move away from interactive use (and we all should fi your
typing more than 4-5 lines of code) teh OO interface is a much better
way to go.

(I know, iPython notebooks allow you do do a LOT with esentially an
interactive interpreter, but still.....)

Anyway, I've always thought it was a real shame that most of the
tutorials on MPL out there get people started on what I'm convinced is
the wrong foot.

- just my opinionated $0.02 worth...
