\section{Plotting}
+\subsection{linspace}
+\typ{In []: x = linspace(start, stop, num)}\\
+\typ{linspace} returns array of length \typ{num}, for which \typ{x[0] = start} and \typ{x[num-1] = stop} \\
+\emph{Please note indices of array starts from zero(0)}
+
+\subsection{plot}
+\typ{In []: plot(X, Y)}\\
+For given arrays of equal length(above case X and Y), \typ{plot} plots the corresponding *x* and *y* pairs taken from X and Y.
+
+\subsection{Colors of plots}
+\typ{In []: plot(y, sin(y), 'g')}\\
+Plots graph with green color. Other options available are:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+ 'r' ---> Red
+ 'b' ---> Blue
+ 'r' ---> Red
+ 'c' ---> Cyan
+ 'm' ---> Magenta
+ 'y' ---> Yellow
+ 'k' ---> Black
+ 'w' ---> White
+\end{lstlisting}
+One can set the width of the plotline using optional argument \typ{linewidth}. For example:\\
+\typ{In []: plot(x, cos(x), 'r', linewidth=2)}\\
+Plots the line with linewidth = 2
+\subsection{label and title}
+\typ{In []: xlabel('Length') #sets *x* axis label to Length}\\
+\typ{In []: ylabel('Time') #sets *y* axis label to Time.}\\
+\typ{In []: title('Sinusoid') #sets title of plot}\\
+\\
+\textbf{Additionally}\\
+Pylab accepts TeX equation expressions in any text expression. To get something like:\\
+$\sigma_i=15$ \\
+on title of figure use:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: title('$\sigma_i=15$')
+\end{lstlisting}
+Same way one can have TeX expression on xlabel, ylabel etc.
+
+\subsection{legends}
+\typ{In []: legend('sin(x)',loc=center)} \\
+Place a legend on the current plot at location *loc*.\\
+Apart from \typ{center}, some other \typ{loc} which can be specified are:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+'best'
+'right'
+'upper right'
+'upper left'
+'lower left'
+'lower right'
+'center left'
+'center right'
+'lower center'
+'upper center'
+\end{lstlisting}
+\newpage
+One can also mention explicit co-ordinates for placement of legend.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: legend(['sin(2y)'], loc=(.8,.1))
+\end{lstlisting}
+\typ{loc = 0, 1} (top left position of graph)\\
+\typ{loc = 0.5, 0.5} (center of graph).

+For creating a script named four\_plot which includes line 16 and line 18 to 27 of logs.

+Running the python script inside IPython interpreter.
