I don't know if I'm the best person to be taking this on, but if no
one else is interested, then I'd be happy to take a shot at it.
Current Limitations:
================
* the frame can only be placed on the borders of the axes (mainly
because I
don't know how to move the tickers anywhere else).
Look at how the transforms are set in the axis.Axis class for the
tickers - the ticks and labels have "blended transforms" which blend
data coords and axes coords.
That reminds me: does it make more sense to have the frame as an
attribute/child of each axis (just as ticks are attributes of each
axis)? It seemed more appropriate to me, but I just used the `frame`
in axes because it was already defined.
It would be extremely useful if
you could develop and extensible API for axis handling (so one could
incorporate some of these Tufte extensions and related ideas at the
*user* level even if they are not built in, though we'd probably
supply some by default or by example)
I didn't really expect the Tufte-style frames to be incorporated into
the core; Incidentally, my initial goal was just to play around with
these Tufte-style frames, not to write a Frame class.
Keep us posted!
Will do. Thanks for your comments.
