[matplotlib-devel] process for getting a new plot type added

2012-09-24 Thread Todd
Hi, I am interested in implementing a new plot type for matplotlib. Is there a specific process I should go through, or is just discussing it on the mailing list sufficient? I see matplotlib has a MEP system similar to PEP, but there don't appear to be that many MEPs so I don't know whether it

We welcome all volunteers! The threshold for what requires a MEP is somewhat fuzzy, but generally it's for things in the core that affect the system as a whole. Why don't you just start discussing your thoughts and plans here and we can discuss the best way forward. Mike On 09/24/2012

[matplotlib-devel] New plot type idea -- EventRaster

2012-09-24 Thread Todd
I would like to add a new plot type to matplotlib. Of course I am willing to implement it myself, but I want to confirm that it is acceptable and iron out the implementation details and API first so there are no major surprises when I submit it. I tentatively am calling the plot type an

For the compilation problem, I am no Objective-C expert, but in C, line 3557 should certainly read: NSSize pxlSize = NSMakeSize(rep-pixelsWide, rep-pixelsHigh); I wonder if that fixes it -- but that's a total stab in the dark. This was a part of the code that was changed quite recently.
