It is now fixed.  I just uploaded a higher resolution image of the same 
thing.

Oh, that is *much* better.  Thank you!

As a bit of spiritual support for the underlying concept, I mostly use
matplotlib via exactly this mechanism, today. Except I didn't want to
modify matplotlib, so my solution is a bit more elaborate:
http://xpra.org/

There's an astonishing amount of nonsense involved in setting up a
headless X server, registering as a window manager and compositing
manager, fighting with the X keyboard model, etc., but at the end of
the day it just works by shipping PNG-style compressed screenshots
over the wire in one direction, and input events over the wire in the
other. Perhaps surprisingly, the result is dramatically more usable
over remote links than vanilla X forwarding is, and it's very
maintainable. So +1 to this approach.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Upload a higher res logo to github

2012-10-12 Thread Jens Nielsen
That looks nice.

On a related note, should the link below the logo not point to
matplotlib.org since  http://matplotlib.sf.net/ just redirects to this site?

In addition it the python code for the sidebar illustrations on the
front side i.e.
http://matplotlib.org/_static/logo_sidebar_horiz.png available somewhere.
The polar plot is clipped in the top an bottom and it would be nice
to fix that and add these plot examples to the screenshot page opened
when clicking on the image.

Plots similar to 1 and 3 are there but no contour plot is shown.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] [IPython-dev] Interactive Matplotlib in the browser

2012-10-12 Thread Ludwig Schwardt
Exciting stuff!

The latency would be an important factor for the user experience, but this 
neatly sidesteps a lot of the JS issues. This would keep the main matplotlib 
machinery on the Python side, which is great.

We could still do simple high-speed annotations requiring very low latency such 
as cursors or selection rectangles on the JS side. I therefore don't foresee 
the requirement of sending hundreds or thousands of PNGs during e.g. a simple 
zoom (smooth resizing might be more intensive...).

Ironically, one of the motivations for the mplh5canvas backend is also to send 
*less* data over the network, as matplotlib's path simplification would 
effectively compress large data sets. However, path simplification does not yet 
apply to scatter plots, an important use case for us (although there are ways 
to implement that with clustering algorithms).

Obviously, a large number of vector operations could still end up being more 
data than a PNG file, where this idea will work better. I'm very keen to see 
how this pans out!

Regards,
Ludwig
