=============
Matplotlib interfaces
---------------------
Matplotlib provides two different interfaces:
- **Axes interface**: create a `.Figure` and one or more `~.axes.Axes` objects
(typically using `.pyplot.subplots`), then *explicitly* use methods on these objects
to add data, configure limits, set labels etc.
- **pyplot interface**: consists of functions in the `.pyplot` module. Figure and Axes
are manipulated through these functions and are only *implicitly* present in the
background.
See :ref:`api_interfaces` for a more detailed description of both and their recommended
use cases.

**Axes interface** (object-based, explicit)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
API:
- `~.pyplot.subplots`: create Figure and Axes
- :mod:`~matplotlib.axes`: add data, limits, labels etc.
- `.Figure`: for figure-level methods
