They're the same plotting interface, just different names. Pylab pulls in a few extra functions that aren't specific to plotting, but aid in providing matlab-alike functionality. To use matplotlib.pyplot instead of pylab for any of the examples, just replace lines of: import pylab with:

Eric et al, Very nice. However, I am running the latest Enthought EPD on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I get this: In [6]: clabel(cs,inline=1,fontsize=10,manual=True) Select label locations manually using first mouse button. End manual selection with second mouse button. /Library/Frameworks/Python.frame
