>>>
>>> # Select a style bundle
>>> style = axes.spines(right=False, top=False)
>>>
>>> # Apply the style to matplotlib
>>> plt.rcParams.update(style)
>>>
>>> # Create a plot
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots()
>>> ax.plot([0, 1, 2], [2, 1, 3])
>>> ax.set_xlabel("$x$ label")
>>> ax.set_ylabel("$y$ label")
