Re: [matplotlib-devel] quiver2 in svn

Hi, an option for quiver to quickly draw thousands of simple monocolor arrows each constructed from e.g. 3 line segments would be useful for someone(like me) that uses matplotlib for browsing vector plots of large fields (e.g. 800x600). currently this is not practical with any of the quiver variants, as it takes minutes to render. I already use linecollections to draw high res coastlines, so a faster quiver should be feasible. another optimization could be perhaps be to arrange for numpy arrays to be passed directly to the drawing methods instead of the all the zipping and loops that currently are necessary? otherwise, quiver2 looks very good for final plots - good work!

Hi, for b&w PS publication quality plotting, this must be a common thing to draw; contour lines, vectors, xy plots, the axes, tick marks, even fonts can all be constructed from disjoint line segments, no? if matplotlib could pass numerix arrays more or less directly to gtk it could perhaps also become the speed king of plotting packages :) Helge ___ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
