# All of plotting functions expect `numpy.array` or `numpy.ma.masked_array` as
# input. Classes that are 'array-like' such as `pandas` data objects
# and `numpy.matrix` may or may not work as intended. It is best to
# convert these to `numpy.array` objects prior to plotting.
# and `numpy.matrix` may or may not work as intended. It is best to use
# `numpy.asarray` to convert these to `numpy.array` objects prior to plotting::
#
# For example, to convert a `pandas.DataFrame` ::
#
# a = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.rand(4,5), columns = list('abcde'))
# a_asarray = a.values
#
# and to convert a `numpy.matrix` ::
# a = pandas.DataFrame(np.random.rand(4,5), columns=list('abcde'))
# a_asarray = np.asarray(a)
#
# b = np.matrix([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
# b_asarray = np.asarray(b)
