JOSS Review - examples / getting started #10

It would be really helpful in the documentation to include a first example to get new users up and running and doing something with pyoints. The documentation is really focussed on the API. Having a Getting Started,User Guide, or Examples section with a simple example that produces a plot can help motivate users to explore what they can do with the package. For inspiration, here are a few docs that were recently accepted into JOSS and are well-done:

For the JOSS submission (openjournals/joss-reviews#990), I think clear pointers to a single example from the README or the docs would suffice.

@lheagy, thank you for this suggestion. I have added three tutorials as jupiter notebooks. The docs have been revised accordingly. A link from the README to the docs is given.
