Hello Eric- I'd like to understand the reason why you object to piecewise-constant colormaps. I have found these to be useful for some types of plots. Also, the functionality to create piecewise-constant colormaps is already provided by LinearSegmentedColormap, so "the cat is already out of

[matplotlib-devel] Guessing directory for Tcl/Tk

2009-10-05 Thread Benjamin Drung
Hi, Guess the correct directory in Debian/Ubuntu fails. Replacing all tcl by tk does not lead to a correct directory: /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5 -> /usr/share/tktk/tk8.5 The correct directory is /usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5 A patch is attached. Cheers, Benjamin 05-find-tcl-tk-directory.dpatch Descriptio

[matplotlib-devel] basedir

2009-10-05 Thread Benjamin Drung
Hi, setupext.py contains a basedir directory. Please add there 'linux2-alpha', 'linux2-hppa', 'linux2-mips', 'linux2-sparc', 'gnukfreebsd7', 'gnukfreebsd8'. It would be nice, if matplotlib had an option to disable '/usr/local'. This would be useful for distributions. The Debian patch attached (d

[matplotlib-devel] doc/make.py clean

2009-10-05 Thread Benjamin Drung
Hi, "doc/make.py clean" runs svn-clean. Running svn-clean outside the svn repository does not clean anything. So "doc/make.py clean" does not work in the Debian/Ubuntu package. Please remove the generated files directly and do not relay on svn. In our package we run these commands: rm -rf doc/bui

Hi Philip, all, This work seems to overlap a lot with the recent color map changes I committed (http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/colors.py?r1=7488&r2=7620), except for the piece-wise constant color maps. Of course we should avoid duplicate c
