So I have a (slightly) new plot type I would like to add to the matplotlib codebase, and I'd like to ask A) if people would be interested in the patch and B) what the best way to implement it would be.
I am currently calling the plot type "pcontourf"--it's essentially a pcolor, but instead of a continuous color spectra of value, it plots discrete levels of data like contourf does. I find this kind of plot useful for model output--it displays the model grid, and also emphasizes data transitions, for example, between the negative and positive areas of a plot, better than pcolor. Essentially it is just a contourf wrapper that, instead of calling contourf with values at the 'center' of a grid cell, calls contourf with points at the edges of the grid cell so you end up with rectangular areas. If someone is actually interested in clean this up and put it into svn, my next question is where in the codebase would be the best place to put it so I can make a clean diff file? pyplot.py? I don't quite understand how the matplotlib module hierarchy works.
