This first is mplsizer, based on the wx layout model, and works "live" (with a figure open in a GUI) as well as for saving to disk. See the demo directory for, well, some demos. I haven't been using this too much lately, but it still works as well as it ever did AFAIK. There is a trivial bit of documentation and a copy of the source at http://github.com/astraw/mplsizer The second is svg_stack. This is used as a post-processing step that requires saving my figures as svg files and then composing them with this tool. There is some minimal documentation and the source at http://github.com/astraw/svg_stack . The nice thing with svg_stack is that you can use svg files from other sources (i.e. not just matplotlib). Also, everything can be manually adjusted in Inkscape, which itself has nice command-line export to .png and .pdf capabilities. -Andrew -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users

Well, first I'll use it :). I can advertise if I and up using it a lot.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Bug in demo_parasite_axes2 example?
Hi,
0.99 I've just re-tested with 0.99.1 and found it works fine..

[Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question
Hello,
Is there a way to color words differently in a label or title, for example:
ylabel("measurement 1 (in red color)" , "measurement 2 (in blue color)") to
match with the plotted line colors?
Thanks.
