I'm not too keen on having general math in one module and matlab compatible math in another, in part because this will be confusing to folks not too familiar with matlab, and as time passes (I never use it anymore) that is starting to include me. I think we could avoid some confusion by simply fixing the docstring in mlab. So I'd rather put all the math stuff in mlab, and possibly pull the geometry specific stuff into a separate module. > As these changes may be debatable, I haven't committed them.

I will try nd look at this over the weekend. > Along the way, I noticed these is some duplication in the examples > directory between pylab_examples and mpl_examples. mpl_examples is a sym link we use for the rest doc builds so the examples can be included w/o the doc writer needing to know the path structure. That way if we want to reorganize later, we can update the symlink rather than all the docs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:mpl> ls -ld lib/mpl_examples lrwxrwxrwx 1 jdhunter jdhunter 11 2008-07-25 20:37 lib/mpl_examples -> ../examples [EMAIL PROTECTED]:mpl> ls -ld doc/mpl_examples lrwxrwxrwx 1 jdhunter jdhunter 12 2008-06-02 07:31 doc/mpl_examples -> ../examples/ JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
