Provides a MATLAB-like plotting framework.
:mod:`~matplotlib.pylab` combines pyplot with numpy into a single namespace.
This is convenient for interactive work, but for programming it
is recommended that the namespaces be kept separate, e.g.::
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.arange(0, 5, 0.1);
y = np.sin(x)
plt.plot(x, y)

Creates a new figure.
Parameters
----------
num : integer or string, optional, default: none
If not provided, a new figure will be created, and the figure number
will be incremented. The figure objects holds this number in a `number`
attribute.
If num is provided, and a figure with this id already exists, make
it active, and returns a reference to it. If this figure does not
exists, create it and returns it.
If num is a string, the window title will be set to this figure's
`num`.
figsize : tuple of integers, optional, default: None
width, height in inches. If not provided, defaults to rc
figure.figsize.
dpi : integer, optional, default: None
resolution of the figure. If not provided, defaults to rc figure.dpi.
facecolor :
the background color. If not provided, defaults to rc figure.facecolor
edgecolor :
the border color. If not provided, defaults to rc figure.edgecolor
Returns
-------

pylab interface. Additional kwargs will be passed to the figure init
function.

Return a subplot axes positioned by the given grid definition.
Typical call signature::

Where *nrows* and *ncols* are used to notionally split the figure
into ``nrows * ncols`` sub-axes, and *plot_number* is used to identify
the particular subplot that this function is to create within the notional
grid. *plot_number* starts at 1, increments across rows first and has a
maximum of ``nrows * ncols``.
In the case when *nrows*, *ncols* and *plot_number* are all less than 10,
a convenience exists, such that the a 3 digit number can be given instead,
where the hundreds represent *nrows*, the tens represent *ncols* and the
units represent *plot_number*. For instance::
subplot(211)
produces a subaxes in a figure which represents the top plot (i.e. the
first) in a 2 row by 1 column notional grid (no grid actually exists,
but conceptually this is how the returned subplot has been positioned).
.. note::
Creating a new subplot with a position which is entirely inside a
pre-existing axes will trigger the larger axes to be deleted::
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plot a line, implicitly creating a subplot(111)
plt.plot([1,2,3])
# now create a subplot which represents the top plot of a grid
# with 2 rows and 1 column. Since this subplot will overlap the
# first, the plot (and its axes) previously created, will be removed
plt.subplot(211)
plt.plot(range(12))
plt.subplot(212, facecolor='y') # creates 2nd subplot with yellow background
If you do not want this behavior, use the
:meth:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure.add_subplot` method or the
:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.axes` function instead.
Keyword arguments:
*facecolor*:
The background color of the subplot, which can be any valid
color specifier. See :mod:`matplotlib.colors` for more
information.
*polar*:
A boolean flag indicating whether the subplot plot should be
a polar projection. Defaults to *False*.
*projection*:
A string giving the name of a custom projection to be used
for the subplot. This projection must have been previously
registered. See :mod:`matplotlib.projections`.
