Re: [matplotlib-devel] is R wrong? (boxplot)

2014-02-19 Thread Matt Sundquist 
Hey all,

I thought I'd throw out that a tool I'm working on, Plotly ,
also does box plots with the option to show jittered points. Instead of
passing in stats you pass in an array of values.

Here is a notebook with the box plots with jitter:
nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/fperez/8930306.

You can also view the mean of the array (the dashed line), +/- 1.5 standard
deviations around the median, and the outliers of the set (the hollow
points): https://plot.ly/~ChrisPP/49.

More generally, we're hoping to soon let folks convert matplotlib scripts
into a Plotly graph (GitHub
Issue).
We'd love your advice and thoughts.

Thanks a bunch,
M

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Download links on 'installing' page?

Thanks.  This link never got moved over after github shut down their 
download service.  Your PR looks correct to me.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Radio silence about the 1.4.0 release...

Unless someone else really wants to do this, I will volunteer.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Radio silence about the 1.4.0 release...

2014-02-19 Thread Thomas Caswell 
To this end, I have renamed the current 1.4.x milestone -> 1.4.0 and
created a new 1.4.x mile stone.  Issues that are bug
fixes/enhancements that should target the _next_ maintenance release,
but may not get into shape in the very near future should be moved to
the new mile stone.

Do we want to do a 1.3.2 at the same time?
