Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
Great ! Thanks for setting this up. One comment, it would be great to have a README.rst in the directory to have abstract of all MEPS at once in github (I can make a PR). I've started working on MEP28 (https://github.com/rougier/matplotlib/blob/MEP28/doc/devel/MEP/MEP28.rst). I intend to make a PR once it is a bit more polished or should I make a PR right now to initiate the discussion on the PR ? (It is not clear to me if the preferred medium for discussion is the mailing list or the PR comments).

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
That is neat. I would be sure to put in some ..seealso:: lines in places like plt.subplots and GridSpec and such. A thought... could this perhaps be extended somehow to specify colorbars in the layout? I am not sure how I would do that, but if we could come up with a way to do it, *that* would make this a killer feature. But even without that, this is still pretty useful.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
Yes, a MEP makes sense to discuss the proposal. What's the procedure to open a MEP (i.e. where) ?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
Fantastic question. I don't see any mention of it in the docs. Perhaps I should create a MEP to discuss that...

A lower-case letter could indicate a colorbar-size Axes: layout = [ABc, DE , ff ] would put a vertical think axes to the right of B, and a double-wide hoizontal one below D and E. All of this seems like an alternative API for gridspec and axes_grid1. I am concerned about ending up with too many ways to do things, but with subtle differences. How much control over spacing and sizing would be provided by kwargs or other adjustment mechanisms? How would this relate to subplot_params?

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
Currently we are doing MEPs on the wiki ( https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/MEPTemplate) , but I would like to move them to be in the docs (make a MEP folder next to 'users'?) as the visibility on the wiki is low, there isn't a great way to leave line comments, and we should have these documents in the official docs eventually.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout
I love this layout spec idea! Gridspec is a pain in the ass. Bonus points for actually drawing the letter e.g. on the top left corner of each panel, so that the figures are ready for publication.
