Hi all, 1) Just wanted to mention one pro for the "Automatic":
I think a significant amount of users using matplotlib as their plotting tool for scientific publications. For those, the PPI usually needs to be 300. This would look too large for inline displays. 2) But also, I also like it that for "Inline", you don't need to close the previous 4 figures when you try 5 times and finally get the right labels. 3) For the new proposal, would that option "Inline" vs "Automatic" in the widget stay there if I restart the console? -Shawn On Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 8:33:10 AM UTC-5, Julien Hillairet wrote: > > I +1 this proposal, which is smart way to make à compromise and to switch > easily the backend. > > Julien > Le 29 janv. 2015 10:58, "Gonzalo Peña-Castellanos" <goan...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> a écrit : > >> Hi Carlos >> >> Thanks for raising this here. >> >> The issue (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/596) you post >> seems a bit old and untouched, any real chance something changing there? >> >> I think this is also a very subjective decision, because it would be >> based on 2 >> (,3,4 ,5 maybe 10, maybe more?) people saying it does not work for them >> in >> the default (Inline). >> >> Unless we have some real data (real use cases and numbers, i.e. "90% of >> Spyder users use inline backend") I think the safest option in the sake of >> clarity for new users is to have something that works right away without >> generating a "Where did my figure go?" >> >> To tackle this issue I would also suggest making these change more >> accessible. >> >> *Proposal:* >> Keep the default 'inline' for the time given but implement these option >> directly >> on the IPython Dockwidget.
