Scipy's plot directive has had this feature for some time:
http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/doc/sphinxext/plot_directive.py
plus some extra features. I think it should contain all the features in
matplotlib's version; but OTOH, I haven't tried to build matplotlib docs
using it.
I think we really should merge it back *now*!
(Re: Gael's thread; sorry, I've been lazy pushing the changes back...)
The "official" version of the plot directive should IMO end up either
in Sphinx or matplotlib repository. It's probably OK to require matplotlib
SVN version to build Scipy docs for a while...
What do you think?
