Hi Derek, > the framework. Though, if I understand correctly, Anaconda provides a > framework version of the interpreter > pythonw and a non-frameworked python? This is right -- the GUI backends to matplotlib cause python to crash, but not pythonw. This is annoying, since the two binaries are e

lf at http://plotornot.chrisbeaumont.org . Plot or Not was mostly a tongue-in-cheek idea, but there is nonetheless some interesting information about style preferences in these data. I'm happy to share the raw vote data if anyone is interested in digging further. Cheers,

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Faceted plotting

2013-09-02 Thread Chris Beaumont
Hi Damon, Thanks for your thoughts on how this should fit in with MPLs API. My $0.02: What would feel more natural is if I could do the following: > f = Facet(...) > ax.facet(f, 'scatter') > Three things about this style bother me: 1. It seems too verbose ("facet" gets typed a lot -- 4 times if

[matplotlib-devel] Faceted plotting

2013-08-31 Thread Chris Beaumont
Pandas has some nice tools to make faceted plots -- small multiples of plots where data is grouped by category ( http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/rplot.html). However, I think there would be value in having this functionality built into matplotlib. Mainly: 1. Not every dataset lives in

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Plot or Not: voting to create better matplotlibrc

2013-07-22 Thread Chris Beaumont
I had the same question about opt-out vs opt-in. Personally, I vote for opt-out. I would like to see each release of MPL have an associated style (which may be the same as the last release, but maybe not). With Tony's style PR, users that need constant styles would either put `style.use('1.3')` in

arams. Sorry for being long-winded -- I just want to make the case that this is an important (and not *entirely* subjective) issue. If nothing else, it would be great to see some clear statement about where the MPL devs stand on this issue -- what criteria must be met to consider a change to the defaults
