Quick clarifications:
- `--pylab` as a command-line flag is strongly discouraged and we will
likely remove it (having it in that location requires really awkward
special-case code everywhere). But we'll probably keep the %pylab magic
indefinitely, since it's useful for quick-and-dirty command-line work where
you don't care about namespace pollution, just about minimizing typing and
namespace access for convenience.
- The %matplotlib magic can also be used without args, case in which it
works like %pylab used to, and will pick up the user's default backend:
In [1]: %matplotlib
Using matplotlib backend: TkAgg
In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
In [3]: plt.plot([1,2,3])
Out[3]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x4b90ed0>]
