Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

2015-04-26 Thread Nicolas P. Rougier

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

2015-04-25 Thread Thomas Caswell
The MEP tree has been moved into the main repo
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/doc/devel/MEP

I am pretty excited about this feature.

I don't remember if this got mentioned upthread, but this ties in with
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1109 as a nice way to set
up all of the constraints.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

2015-03-19 Thread Benjamin Root
two problems with that: 1) that really doesn't make me want to use this
approach, especially since I wouldn't know what ratios I would want in the
first place. 2) it can't tell if I want a horizontal or vertical colorbar,
whereas the lower-case notation could have some logic to auto-detect the
user's intent (e.g., all lower-case letters in the last row indicates
horizontal bars). It would also allow us to return the plotting axes
separate from the colorbar axes, which is how axes_grid1 does it, and it is
very nice that way.

I think you could specify colorbars using: ["AB"]
(B is a vertical colorbar, 1/10 of total width)

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

2015-03-18 Thread jni . soma
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.

I like that. Furthermore, now that we build and push the docs with every

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

2015-03-18 Thread Thomas Caswell
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

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?

Fantastic question. I don't see any mention of it in the docs. Perhaps I

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

2015-03-18 Thread Benjamin Root
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.

Cool.  I think it make sense to put this in to `pyplot.py` next to
`subplots`
