[matplotlib-devel] subplots adjust
I am writing to ask about the subplots adjust widget. I think the gui would be better implimented by each backend using the native widgets rather than by the existing set of backend-neutral sliders, which are somewhat unbecoming. The proposed backend-specific widgets could call the generic subplot resize routines, and really shouldn't be that difficult to impliment. Also, I was thinking that subplot_adjust should be selectable from a standard dropdown "File, Edit, View..." menubar instead of on the main toolbar. The save button could also be moved to the drop down menu bar. Darren - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

It works on OS-X PPC also. I was wondering about endian issues.

[matplotlib-devel] subplots adjust
Darren -Although I agree with your on some level, the advantage of the current toolbar is that it is easy to incorporate in a GUI, where the user can define his own drop down menu. So I vote for a backend native slider, but keep the button on the toolbar. I have been thinking about an easier way to have user-defined toolbars (and I am sure others have much better ideas). I would rather put energy towards modifyable toolbars than a dropdown menu,Mark --Message: 4Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 09:34:57 -0400 From: Darren Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Subject: [matplotlib-devel] subplots adjustTo: matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"I am writing to ask about the subplots adjust widget.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] XML plotting
Dear Abraham, I'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I didn't see any other responses on the list, but I think this is a super idea (although I have yet to look at the code). In particular I like your idea to save to your XML format. Then we could plot to an XML file, and replot (later) with whatever backend we need at the time. It sounds great. We could even zip the file automatically (or just the data parts of the innards) so they'd hopefully be pretty small. I suspect that if you get the XML backend working and incorporate it, you'll have a lot of users trying it out when they see it in their "save as" format list. Relatedly, is there any way would could add to the SVG backend that would give us essentially this and, simultaneously, a valid SVG file? Is SVG even "officially" extensible in this way? (I don't know much about SVG or XML.) Cheers! Andrew Abraham Schneider wrote: > Hi.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] XML plotting
Hey, glad it might actually be of use to other people. I know I've been awful about finishing things, as anything that doesn't directly relate to my thesis has fallen to wayside as of late. When I was investigating saving it as an XML format, I remember coming across a problem. If I remember correctly, you could easily write a backend that would just spit out the proper XML, but it wouldn't be a very good XML file -- it would just be a collection of 'draw_lines', etc.. The current format that I've been using looks more like: It has a plug-in architecture, so it looks for all python files in a specified directory, and that is how it decides which plot function to call (in this case, it would find a class 'bar' within those files). The class specifies what arguments it can take, which are required arguments, and which are optional (as well as default values). What made sense to me, would be to simply create plot classes that corresponded with the draw_line, draw_arc, etc. That way, to render a saved XML file, would simply consist of having those classes make the correct backend calls. But, there doesn't seem an easy way to generate this with the backends, as they know nothing about figures, axes, subplot, etc. So it seems like matplotlib would have to have a separate way for saving a native format. I think this would be a huge gain, as it would allow figures to be generated, saved, edited, reopened/ regenerated, but would involve yet another output method. I could very well be missing something obvious, if so please correct me! As for the SVG, I'll have to look into it. I think that's probably an easier issue, as I believe you could construct it in a similiar fashion to the other backends, as a collection of lines.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] subplots adjust
My fear is that all these native implementations will become very hard to maintain. What happens when Qt 4.2 comes out and the person who did the original Qt impl is long gone? (this is just for arguments sake of course). Native tools seem better left to developers creating their own apps. The typical user probably won't care if the laf is native, just whether it works consistently.
