Thanks for the info Alex. Chris,
Since the code was pulled from a mailing list does that mean we can use it? Feels like we should give Yannick credit for his code, and I am thinking about adding a Credit line to the NOTICE.txt mentioning the original implementation of the TaylorDiagram class came from Yannick Copin. Thoughts? -Cameron On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 10:08 AM, Alex Goodman <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Cam, > > Kyo and I originally found it in the matplotlib-users mailing list archive. > Yannick posted that code after someone asked how a Taylor Diagram could be > made using matplotlib.
