\frametitle{Command History}
Use the \typ{\%hist} \alert{magic} command of IPython 
\typ{In []: \%hist}\\
This displays all the commands typed in so far aka Command History.
\begin{block}{Careful about errors!}
  \kwrd{\%hist} will contain the errors as well.\\

\begin{block}{Magic Commands?}
  Magic commands are commands provided by IPython to make our life easier.

  \frametitle{Saving commands into script}
Use the \typ{\%save} \alert{magic} command of IPython

\typ{\%save script_name line_numbers}

Line numbers can be specified individually separated by spaces or as a range separated by a dash.\\
\begin{block}{}
\typ{\%save four_plot.py} \alert{\typ{  16 18-27}} \\

 \begin{itemize}
 \item run the script in IPython using \typ{\%run four_plot.py}\\

    \item Creating simple plots
    \item Adding labels and legends
    \item Annotating plots
    \item Changing the looks: size, linewidth
