[matplotlib-devel] matplotlib and Google Summer of Code
May I ask whether matplotlib is taking part in this year's GSoC? I'm canvassing ideas for the Climate Code Foundation's participation, and some scientists have suggested matplotlib-related improvements (e.g. a GUI tool for constructing and managing segmented colormaps). Some might be specific to climate science, others might be more generally useful to other matplotlib users. In any case, if a student embarked on something like that, they'd need to join the matplotlib development community as well as ours, so I thought I'd drop by and see whether GSoC-sponsored development would be welcome. -- Nick Barnes, Climate Code Foundation, http://climatecode.org/ -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel

They would certainly be welcome. We haven't solicited proposals, but we could mentor one to three students who were interested. A colormap GUI tool would be welcome, but it doesn't sound like an entire summer would be needed, so we might want to bolt on some stuff (like general improvements in mpl widgets and events to support design of such a tool in native mpl rather than, or in addition to, a UI specific tool) JDH -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel

I would just add that a segmented colormap tool is something that has occurred to me several times as a good wish-list item, and that as a physical oceanographer I certainly support expanded use of the python stack in climate science.

[matplotlib-devel] Suggestion for setupext.py darwin changes
At present all people buliding matplotlib on Mac OS X must edit
setupext.py. I have modified setupext.py to make it work with Mac OS X
("darwin") for Apple's python, python.org python and presumably Homebrew
python (since that uses /usr/local).
I also included instructions for users of Fink and MacPorts (though
perhaps those should go in a readme somewhere, instead).
Here are the changes:
I would appreciate a review, so I can submit a pull request.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] matplotlib and Google Summer of Code
An OpenGL backend would be a nice project also. I've gathered some experience with glumpy and I can help/mentor but I suspect I'm not familiar enough with all the matplotlib internals to do this alone.

(of course, there's also the html5 backend that is not quite finished, I believe...) Work on the 3d graphics backend in general would be cool to see too, and could likely be added to a openGL project.
