Hi folks, if one were to say, think of writing something like a book (or a paper) using sphinx and plots generated from python scripts, the plot directive would be extremely useful. But as best as I can tell, it generates at the end of the day 'image' directives, where as for including figures in latex-produced PDF with captions and labels one can later refer to, the plain sphinx 'figure' directive appears to be more appropriate. As we can read here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#images Their signatures are: Image Directive Type: "image" Doctree Element: image Directive Arguments: One, required (image URI). Directive Options: Possible. Directive Content: None. Figure Directive Type: "figure" Doctree Elements: figure, image, caption, legend Directive Arguments: One, required (image URI). Directive Options: Possible. Directive Content: Interpreted as the figure caption and an optional legend. A key difference is that image takes no content, while figure accepts content and uses it for the figure caption. Would it be possible/sensible to switch the plot directive to be a superset of 'figure' instead of 'image'? Before I dive into the code too far, I figured I'd ask the experts.
