Hi folks, I finished coding a few changes to foo.show to make it easy to display plots for use in papers etc without having to directly interact with matplotlib. Specifically, for regular plots, (I haven't tried this with contour plots but it should play well with minor additions), I've added an bool option to foo.show() called labels_on_frame. If this is set to true along with frame=true, the y-axis label is displayed vertically outside the frame, on the left hand side, and the x-axis label is displayed along the bottom. I also made it so that the frame axes aren't padded to add at least 10% edge space so that in this case plots actually start as stated by xmin and ymin.
for instance: ex=plot(sin) ex.show(frame=true,axes=false,labels_on_frame=true,axes_labels=['x','y']) shows a graph where the frame is bounded -1,-1 to 1,1, with labels in the right place. I need to add some documentation still, and the positioning of the labels is a bit hackish. Also this currently only works in the notebook, the command-line session bugs out for a reason I haven't tracked down yet. Is there interest in this? I also don't know how or where to upload the code to be viewed, but it's only some minor changes in plot.py and Axes.py . I'm frantically trying to scrape together a talk, but I can upload a first go sometime today if people want. I was also considering changing the toggle to something like display_pretty and have it by default turn axes off and frame to true, as this is the natural way I think of seeing plots.
