documentation for plotting

[jasongrout]

I went through the "live" documentation for plots and found a number of places that computations should be split into separate cells, plots weren't displayed, etc. This patch fixes these areas.

There is a typo of 'primitve' in plot/plot.py. Does this still apply to 4.6.alpha1?

Yes. I also refreshed the patch to correct the typo. This depends on #9740. Do you have time to review that and this patch?

Not totally at this time, though I see some of the things it is trying to fix. I did take a look at some things while checking out the new matplotlib, and noticed that the example with plot(1.5/(1+e^(-x)) is not correctly formatted in the documentation, and doesn't become a live cell. I'm sorry to make this a long process.
