<spanclass="clear_screenshots"></span><p>Matplotlib tries to make easy things easy and hard things possible. You
129
+
can generate plots, histograms, power spectra, bar charts, errorcharts,
130
+
scatterplots, etc., with just a few lines of code. For examples, see the
131
+
<aclass="reference internal" href="tutorials/introductory/sample_plots.html"><spanclass="doc">sample plots</span></a> and <aclass="reference internal" href="gallery/index.html"><spanclass="doc">thumbnail
132
+
gallery</span></a>.</p>
133
+
<p>For simple plotting the <codeclass="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">pyplot</span></code> module provides a MATLAB-like interface,
134
+
particularly when combined with IPython. For the power user, you have full
135
+
control of line styles, font properties, axes properties, etc, via an object
136
+
oriented interface or via a set of functions familiar to MATLAB users.</p>
