in this command

> using PyPlot  
> x = 1:10; y = rand(10,2)  
> plot(x,y, label(“Line 1” “Line 2”)  
> title(“Two Lines”)

why the name of the line does not appear ?

and how can i spline this lines ? ( just for an example, my plot is more complicated )

ignoring couple of typos in your example

try following to get legend

```julia
PyPlot.legend()

```

The `legend` function in matplotlib (hence PyPlot) takes an array (this is explained in the documentation: type `?legend` or google “legend matplotlib”).

```julia
using PyPlot
x = 1:10; y = rand(10,2)
plot(x,y)
legend(["Line 1", "Line 2"])
title("Two Lines")

```

Matplotlib does not do spline interpolation, as far as I know. You have to use some other package (e.g. Interpolations.jl) to do the interplation and then plot that.
