names are added to the namespace.
For more agile *interactive* use of the notebook space, an alternative magic,
``%pylab``, is provided. This does the same work as the ``%matplotlib`` magic,
but *in addition* it automatically executes a standard sequence of ``import``
statements required to work with the ``%matplotlib`` library, importing the
following names into the namespace:
``numpy`` as ``np``; ``matplotlib.pyplot`` as ``plt``;
``matplotlib``, ``pylab`` and ``mlab`` from ``matplotlib``; and *all names*
from within ``numpy`` and ``pylab``.
However, the use of ``%pylab`` is discouraged, since names coming from
different packages may collide. In general, the use of ``from package import
*`` is discouraged. A better option is then::
%pylab --no-import-all
which imports the names listed above, but does *not* perform this
