Personally, I am more a fan of Ray's version, although Tom's version would
integrate more nicely with the current mpl codebase. There are some nice
features with Ray's version such as allowing to choose density in both x and
y directions.
I guess the major question is which style do we like better? Maybe we could
use both of these code bases to come up with a nice, generalized version?
