Re: [matplotlib-devel] Tutorial topics for SciPy'09 Conference
Hi all, In order to proceed with contacting speakers, we'd now like to get some feedback from you. This Doodle poll should take no more than a couple of minutes to fill out (no password or registration required): http://doodle.com/hb5bea6fivm3b5bk So please let us know which topics you are most interested in, and we'll do our best to accommodate everyone. Keep in mind that speaker availability and balancing out the topics means that the actual tutorials offered probably won't be exactly the list of top 8 voted topics, but the feedback will certainly help us steer the decision process.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] mplot3d update
John,
Shall I update this file and change the error to say something like
"mplot3d is now available as a toolkit, use import
mpl_toolkits.mplot3d"?
The other option would be to just do a "from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d".
Regards,
Reinier

Actually, I prefer removing axes3d from the matplotlib dir directly. After the release, I will make sure it gets plenty of visibility in the announcement and in the news box on the website main page. Between that and the gallery, people will be able to find it. So please just go ahead and remove lib/matplotlib/axes3d.py JDH -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
