Different issue.
Through the use of "from mpl.math import *" yes. > I don't write enough MPL internal code to have any opinion on that. I'll let the code speak for itself: ~/src/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib pkienzle$ for sym in $symlist; do > echo `grep "[^A-Za-z0-9_]$sym[^A-Za-z0-9_]" *.py | wc -l` $sym; > done | sort -n -r | column -c 75 163 max 7 remainder 1 cosh 0 isnormal 136 arg 7 pow 1 arctanh 0 isinf 109 min 7 inf 1 arcsinh 0 isfinite 102 log 6 arctan2 1 arccosh 0 frexp 64 pi 5 fabs 0 trunc 0 fmin 56 sqrt 4 imag 0 tgamma 0 fmax 44 abs 3 tan 0 signbit 0 fdim 38 sin 3 nan 0 scalbn 0 expm1 28 cos 3 log2 0 rint 0 exp2 23 minimum 3 hypot 0 remquo 0 erfc 22 round 2 isnan 0 nexttoward 0 erf 19 maximum 2 arctan 0 nearbyingt 0 cproj 19 floor 2 arcsin 0 modf 0 copysign 18 log10 2 arccos 0 logb 0 conj 18 ceil 1 tanh 0 log1p 0 cbrt 13 real 1 sinh 0 lgamma 0 NaN 12 exp 1 fmod 0 ldexp 0 Inf I used the following list: symlist=`cat <<EOF pi inf Inf nan NaN isfinite isnormal isnan isinf arccos arcsin arctan arctan2 cos sin tan arccosh arcsinh arctanh cosh sinh tanh exp log log10 expm1 log1p exp2 log2 pow sqrt cbrt erf erfc lgamma tgamma hypot fmod remainder remquo fabs fdim fmax fmin copysign signbit frexp ldexp logb modf scalbn ceil floor rint nexttoward nearbyingt round trunc conj cproj abs arg imag real min max minimum maximum EOF` This measure doesn't distinguish between comments and code, but it should still be good enough for the purposes of this discussion. Tuning the list to the set of functions available in numpy rather than c99 would help (I did rename ayyy to arcyyy for the trig functions). - Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
