Plotting the exponential function#
This example demonstrates how to import a local module and how images are
stacked when two plots are created in one code block. The variable N
from
the example āLocal moduleā (file local_module.py
) is imported in the code
below. Further, note that when there is only one code block in an example, the
output appears before the code block.
