Re: [Matplotlib-users] Which api to learn?
99.9% of the time I am using pyplot, as it usually does what I want without me having to understand an api. I don't care so much if pyplot agrees with matlab or not, but it should be something easy that new users can pick up quickly.

Looking around for some examples of API not using pyplot I'm not turning up much. If I look at http://matplotlib.org/api/index.html I quickly find myself staring at pyplot docs, and if I look at a few http://matplotlib.org/examples/index.html I see pyplot examples. Where would I find non-pyplot examples and docs? -- "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.

[Matplotlib-users] Visible image joins
Hi, I'm trying to display a mosaic of image tiles in a single plot, but I keep getting lines between the tiles. Is there a way to avoid these lines? (I'd really rather not pre-process the images to stitch them all together into a single image.) The following code reproduces the problem: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np e1 = (27, 31.5, 31.5, 36) e2 = (31.5, 36, 31.5, 36) image = np.zeros((10, 10)) for e in (e1, e2): plt.imshow(image, extent=e) plt.xlim(27, 36) plt.show() I've also tried the following with no improvement: plt.imshow(image, extent=e, interpolation='none', resample=False) Thanks, Richard Hattersley -- "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Which api to learn?
The only pyplot function I let myself use is plt.subplots() to quickly create the Figure and Axes objects. From that point on, I operate on those objects directly. Frankly, it reads almost exactly like pyplot code, but it is a *lot* more clear what's going on.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Which api to learn?
I wrote up my answer to this question on stackoverflow once: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19895262/when-to-use-the-matplotlib-pyplot-class-and-when-to-use-the-plot-object-matplot/21004357#21004357 Others may have different opinions or variations on the theme, but this is how I look at the issue. It is also the reason why I don't want to deprecate pylab (but do want to keep it out of examples). Cheers!
