The drawing between the points is done using the regular "line drawing" commands of the backend. So there isn't really any low-level control over how the line between points is drawn.
As a workaround, however, you can interpolate the data yourself and just pass more points to matplotlib. You may also be interested in this document if you're implementing new geodesics (though it doesn't solve the interpolation problem you describe): http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/add_new_projection.html Mike T J wrote: > Hi, > > When plotting, > > plot(x, y, marker="-") > > and its similar markers, what functionality in MPL is responsible for > interpolating between the points?
