 \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{Label}
+\subsection{plot}
+\typ{In []: plot(X, Y)}\\
+For given arrays of equal length(above case X and Y), \typ{plot} plots the correspoding *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 also set the line width of plot 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('Sinusoids') #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}
-  title('$\sigma_i=15$')
+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)} \\
+Placec a legend on the current plot at location *loc*.\\
 Apart from \kwrd{center}, some other \kwrd{loc} which can be specified are:
 \begin{lstlisting}
+'best'
+'right'
 'upper right'
 'upper left'      
 'lower left'

+\typ{In []: annotate('local max', xy=(1.5, 1))}\\

-One can save figure in any of these formats: png, pdf, ps, eps and svg.
