I think one would almost always want the spine endpoints at tick locations, so perhaps a better default behavior than we now have is that in any case in which the spines are not forming an old-style axes frame, they are automatically limited to the outermost ticks. I haven't implemented that, but I don't think it would be too hard to build on top of what I just committed. -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-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
