Matplotlib strives to produce publication quality 2D graphics for
interactive graphing, scientific publishing, user interface
development and web application servers targeting multiple user
-interfaces and hardcopy output formats. There is a 'pylab' mode which
-emulates matlab graphics
+interfaces and hardcopy output formats. The 'pylab' mode
+of ipython uses matplotlib to emulate matlab graphics.
+
+NOTES: If you want to enable the optional subpackages tests and
+ toolkits_tests you need to install nose and mock before
+ matplotlib.
+ To enable the above mentioned subpackages you have to set
+ the variables DISABLE_TESTS and DISABLE_TK_TESTS respectively
+ to "no".
+ toolkits_tests doesn't get installed, if test and/or toolkits
+ are disabled. The installation of toolkits is done automatically.
