[matplotlib-devel] Transforms branch

2007-10-29 Thread Michael Droettboom
As some of you probably know, I've been working on a fairly major refactoring of matplotlib. It's now getting to the point where I think more people may want to check it out and kick the tires. It is definitely not ready for real work -- I guarantee the first thing you try will break ;) However,

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Inches?

2007-10-29 Thread Michael Droettboom
I agree that we have to remain in inches internally. Non-metric units are pretty ingrained in the printing world (not just in matplotlib) -- Postscript, for example, always does page sizes in inches, even if you're using a "metric" page size like A4. The current definition of a point as 1/72
