Mark, Mark, Brendan, John, thanks for the input. I have a related question
that may help to continue to clear things up for me. My goal is to use
matplotlib with wxPython, and I've been able to embed graphs in wxPython
apps fine so far (in this case, directly, not using wxMPL). What I wanted
to know is whether it is necessary to use pylab or not. I am a little
unclear what the purpose of pylab is in distinction to matplotlib itself. I
gather that pylab is a way to sort of emulate Matlab, but I am unclear as to
whether I need to be using pylab in my apps or not. I am not doing
scientific plots, just fairly simple graphs, though I may throw some
regression lines and r values on there at some point.
I really just want to keep things as simple as possible, and if I don't need
to use pylab, I'd rather not. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.
