matplotlib文档中的'examples'

Question

Many matplotlib function doc pages (eg matplotlib.pyplot.hist ) give a reference to an example somewhere , eg

[...]
Examples
--------
.. plot:: mpl_examples/statistics/histogram_demo_features.py

If I'm using ipython, is there an easy way to look at these examples?

Answer 1

All the examples are on the website. For the example you mentioned: http://matplotlib.org/examples/statistics/histogram_demo_features.html

You can see the list of examples here: http://matplotlib.org/gallery.html

Answer 2

you can %load files in IPython, and if the filename starts with "http://" it will load the URL.

They call them magic commands for a reason!
