Wooohooo! Time to stretch that itchy merge finger!

Thanks for the recognition, and congratulations to Christoph and Russell,
too! This growth will excite more teamwork and development. I'm stoked to
be a part of it.

Thanks all,
Damon

Thanks for the release!

I'm testing the Debian packaging, and I noticed that the file
lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf disappeared between 1.1.1 and
1.2.0rc1. That was a sample file that was nice to ship to users to
have an idea what can be customized. We were also shipping it into
/usr/share/matplotlib/ so a first configuration was already provided
to users. Do you have something to suggest to restore the situation? I
don't know if you like to add the file back (maybe in a different
location) or if we should point users to the doc and stop.

Cheers,

Are those different colour maps? Do they look the same when you explicitly
set cmap=cm.jet?

Is this the same colour map? To me it looks like jet or rainbow vs. coolwarm. 
The latter had been endorsed by a number of people here for its visualisation 
qualities [http://www.sandia.gov/~kmorel/documents/ColorMaps/]; 
maybe it has just become the new default?

Cheers,
Derek

The source of that file has always been `matplotlibrc.template` at the 
root of the source tree.  That file is copied (by the build process) to 
lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc, but it doesn't exist in the raw 
source tree.  I'm not sure what matplotlib.conf is or was -- but I hope 
matplotlibrc.template fits the bill for the Debian package's purposes.

[matplotlib-devel] Custom plot_trisurf triangulations

2012-09-20 Thread Damon McDougall
Greetings denizens,

I have been playing with custom triangulations in the plot_trisurf
method of the mplot3d toolkit. I thought I would share my sweet
creation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccptm6ok7nd3yn5/mobius.png

Let me know your thoughts. I should probably make a pull request out
of this, but the code is not currently readable by humans. I will tidy
it up first. Make it look purrty.

Lots of love,
Damon
