Dear all, it's an interesting discussion. However, I'm against any kind of integer defining the ordering. What ordering. The plot ordering? The ordering in the graph key? What else we may think of? The ordering in the changeable attributes?
So I'm about to reject anything like a zorder-graph-key attribute in the plotitem or a list of indices of the plotitems to be passed to the graph key. I very much like the possibility using g.doplot(plotitem) introduced (by user request! in PyX 0.10). We clearly should have that for the graph keys as well. As this is trivial to implement, I just did so. See changeset 2983. The only problem I do have is with the naming. We do have g.dodata() and g.doplot(plotitem) and now g.dokey() and g.dokeyitem(plotitem), which are similar in what they supposed to do. However, they are named very differently. Obviously we could rename g.dodata() to g.doplot() and g.doplot(plotitem) to g.doplotitem(plotitem). I guess most of you will complain -- still, I think this change becomes necessary. Any thought?
