Hi everybody,
About two weeks ago I was asking on this mailing list if matplotlib can make
hexagonal binning plots as an alternative to scatter plots. I have now written
such a function for matplotlib. In case other people are also looking for this
functionality, the patch is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1952339&group_id=80706&atid=560722
As an example of this function, the two figures below show a traditional
scatter plot, and a hexagonal binning plot using the same data:
Traditional scatter plot:

Hexagonal binning plot, using the same data:
