[Matplotlib-users] sensible tick labels for log scale?
I'm wondering if there is a way of automating tick labeling on log-scale axes, so that labels do not overlap. Specifically, when the values get large, they overlap which makes the labels unreadable. I would expect them to automatically get more sparse with the axis value, as they do when you generate such plots in R, for example.

[Matplotlib-users] inconsistent spacing in histograms
I notice that when the number of bins in a histogram is sparse, the spacing between the bins can be irregular. For example: http://cl.ly/7e0ad7039873d5446365 http://cl.ly/c7cb20b567722928ac3c Is there a way of normalizing this, and better, can the default behavior result in something more consistent (i.e. publication-quality)?

That looks like some bizarre rounding/truncation or something like it. Can you post an example (can just use made up data) that reproduces this? I've not seen this before, so I sense it's due to the specific data types you're passing in. Here is a very simple example. The data are just a list of integers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/233041/histexample.py and it results in an odd choice of intervals. (array([863, 775, 0, 271, 0, 67, 23, 0, 0, 1]), array([ 0. , 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3. , 3.6, 4.2, 4.8, 5.4, 6. ]), a list of 10 Patch objects) If there are only 7 possible values of the data, which are evenly-spaced, it should probably not go in and create more than 6 bins as the default behavior. I know I can specify bins by hand, but when automated it would be nice to have a more sensible default.

[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib._png failure on 64-bit OSX
