[matplotlib-devel] Spelling errors in the documentation
Hi, because Wayne Watson complained in -users repeatedly about spelling errors without fixing or really pointing us to them I tried to find some in the chapter he mentioned and fixed them. Because I am not a native speaker I hope I did not "correct" already correct things. I attached the diff file. Please watch it _only_ if you have the time left, it's *really* no big thing.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Pgfplots (TikZ) backend: implementation strategy
Well, there is something basic now at http://github.com/nicki/matplotlib2tikz It can handle lines plots, images, and color bars; adding more stuff should not be hard, and in case a few people are interested and willing to contribute, the script will progress rather quickly I reckon. I myself am just picking up Python, so a quick look of the one or the other pro would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks Phillip for taking the time to convert this doc bug report from the users list into a proper patch. Many of the usages of axes that Wayne flagged as incorrect in his original report are actually correct, so some of the patch is not correct but I understand you were just converting his report into a usable patch. But there were a couple of fixes in the patch that were worth applying so I made these in svn HEAD. > PS: Sphinx is great, good decision! Yes, it's been great. We've developed a number of extensions, notably the ipython and plot directives, that make writing documentation very natural and easy, and overall I've been very happy with sphinx. -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.

In general, I think this is reasonable thing to do. However, I'm afraid that this refactoring will involve significant efforts as the current Axes implementation implicitly assumes rectlinear coordinates in so many places. So, I'm not sure if any of the developers is willing to dive in, but any contribution will be welcomed.
