Matplotlib - Pyplot API
A new untitled notebook with the .ipynbextension (stands for the IPython notebook) is displayed in the new tab of the browser.
matplotlib.pyplot is a collection of command style functions that make Matplotlib work like MATLAB. Each Pyplot function makes some change to a figure. For example, a function creates a figure, a plotting area in a figure, plots some lines in a plotting area, decorates the plot with labels, etc.
