[matplotlib-devel] Google Summer of Code and NumFOCUS
Hi, NumFOCUS has promotes and supports the ongoing research and development of open-source computing tools including Matplotlib. This year NumFOCUS want to try be a Google Summer of Code "umbrella" mentoring organization, Umbrella organizations are mentoring organizations accepted into the Google Summer of Code program that have other open source organizations working "under" them. Sometime organizations that work very closely or have very similar goals or communities may get put together under an "umbrella." Google stills expects all organizations under the umbrella, whether accepted into the program under their title or not, to adhere to all the rules and regulations of the program. From https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page#umbrella_organization To help promote and support Matplotlib. We encourage Matplotlib to apply to Google Summer of Code under your own title and will be very happy if you can also do with us. If you are interested, please check https://github.com/swcarpentry/gsoc2015 and https://github.com/swcarpentry/gsoc2015/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md. If you have any question, please email me directly.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Produce text runs in the postscript backend
I am in favor of such a change. I also have rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42, so I can use Adobe Illustrator to tweak my mpl generated plots. Changing a word in Illustrator becomes quite a pain when every glyph is a separate text box. -Ben Reedlunn On Feb 18, 2015, at 8:52 AM, Eric Moore wrote: > Hi, > > I posted on the user list a while back about saving editable text using the > postscript backend [1].

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Produce text runs in the postscript backend
I would be +1 on this as well. Various command-line text extraction tools are near useless with the current state.
