Eventually, matplotlib.conf should be autogenerated when setup.py is run. I have not tried to do this yet, maybe I can spend some time on it next weekend. The mathtext settings are more like font.* settings than text.*, so I think they should get their own section (like in matplotlib.conf) instead of a subsection of text (like in mplConfig). As for the greater organization of mplConfig, I laid things out in a way that made sense to me, but this organization is completely hidden right now, and I think we should discuss it before it congeals. For example, some might feel strongly that we should stick to the rcParams organization, to make a possible future transition as easy as possible. Here is what I changed: rcParams mplConfig -----------------------------|----------------------------------- backend backend.use font.sans-serif font.sans_serif text.dvipnghack text.latex.dvipnghack polaraxes.grid axes.polargrid cairo.* backend.cairo.* tk.* backend.tk.* ps.* backend.ps.* ps.usedistiller backend.ps.distiller.use ps.distiller.res backend.ps.distiller.resolution pdf.* backend.pdf.* svg.* backend.svg.* Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
