That citation should be *much* more prominent on the matplotlib homepage. I
regret to say that I was unaware of that paper I should have cited in my
last paper which made heavy use of matplotlib generated plots with lots of
customizations. Next time I'll be sure to include the proper citation!
I think including a gallery of published examples would be great, however,
there will be some serious challenges with regards to copyright. It would
be great to show MPL being used in high impact journals (which it is), but
getting permission from them to show the plots on the MPL website may
require some paperwork. So, a list of citations might be a good place to
start. Here's mine: http://jeb.biologists.org/content/215/11/1783.full
