Re: [matplotlib-devel] mlab and pylab

2007-08-09 Thread Norbert Nemec
Hi Eric, thanks for the warning. I had looked into the issue but never got around to start working on it. While you are at it, I would suggest that you split the graphics stuff out of pylab into a separate module (pyplot?) to be used for "interactive plotting". I believe I'm not the only user wh

Hi everybody, I think I have to apologize, especially to Eric and John, for the confusion that I caused by the commits yesterday. The whole thing started as a bit of cleaning up and then I got carried away. I think there were two points that caused confusion. One is that the new revisions woul

[matplotlib-devel] Checked in major reorganization of __init__.py

2007-06-30 Thread Norbert Nemec
Hi there, I just checked in some major reorganization work in __init__.py The main intention was to move the list of option defaults to a separate file 'rcdefaults.py' that could be imported from setup.py to access the settings with minimal dependencies on the remaining code. To do so, I had to

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Problem with svg output !?

2007-06-19 Thread Norbert Nemec
I stumbled over the same problem over and over again, as well. I think it is difficult to blame either inkscape or matplotlib. The SVG code is correct and Inkscape displays it correctly. The difficulty is that the SVG standard does not say anything about the correct *editing* behavior. The "ungrou

[matplotlib-devel] make loc="best" the default in legend?

2007-06-07 Thread Norbert Nemec
Hi there, the loc="best" mode seems to work fairly well now. Even if it may leave room for further optimization, I would assume that it is the more reasonable default than "upper right". I believe, however, that such simple API-changes should not happen one-by-one but that they should be collecte

Re: [matplotlib-devel] units support in svn

2007-03-20 Thread Norbert Nemec
Actually, I like the idea of unit support quite a bit and could well imagine that it makes sense to support it explicitely in matplotlib. I am using physical units very frequently in my computations. Lacking a robust units package, I simply define the units as numerical constants without checks

plotlib is therefore effectively empty. If a user explicitely wants to change a value, the line can simply be uncommented to become effective. Users of matplotlib are encouraged to use the new matplotlibrc as basis for their own configuration. Greetings, Nor

OK, I found the problem and committed a temporary fix. The real problem, however is rooted a bit deeper. First an explanation of the intended change: It used to be that marker colors were partly automatic, but not completely. I.e. plot(x,y,'-or') would set both, line color and marker color

Hi Eric, hi everybody, I just noticed that you, Eric, have committed r2799 to SVN which partly reverts my commit r2790. I understand that, obviously, the changes that I introduced are more controversial than I would have expected, so we should try to reach an agreement. Was your objection genera
