The matplotlib subpackages
If we change the code in the last section of ch-01.ipynb
to list the matplotlib
subpackages, we get the following result:
matplotlib version 1.3.1 matplotlib.axes matplotlib.backends matplotlib.compat matplotlib.delaunay DESCRIPTION :Author: Robert Kern <robert.kern@gmail.com> :Copyright: Copyright 2005 Robert Kern. :License: BSD-style license. See LICENSE.tx matplotlib.projections matplotlib.sphinxext matplotlib.style matplotlib.testing matplotlib.tests matplotlib.tri
The subpackage names are pretty self-explanatory. Backends refers to the way that the end result is output. This output can be in one of several file formats or displayed on the screen in a graphical user interface.
