Hi all, I was wondering why there are inconsistent values for the 'linestyle' option in matplotlib.backend_bases.GraphicsContextBase. The values allowed are 'solid', 'dashed', 'dotted' and 'dashdot', aside from tuples.
Compare this with the options available for the usual pyplot.plot() command, where the linestyles are '-', '--', '-.', ':', etc. Is there a specific reason for the difference in the options? It doesn't seem too hard to add the options '-', '--', etc to the GraphicsContextBase class - one only needs to add these to a dict at https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/backend_bases.py#L671 Regards, basu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: BUILD Helping you discover the best ways to construct your parallel projects. http://goparallel.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
