I largely agree. I spend many days to get my plots and posted a few times on this list e.g. Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to create a facecolors map? Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2013 09:24:40 Better documetation would be very nice; please provide example code. And a remark about that: most exemples show functions with symmetry. This can be confusing when coloring and other techniques are applied. PS. Please cut down the original message before replying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
