Marcel: I agree examples like this should be changed. Actually, I think the
default interpolation should be changed to "nearest", but that's a whole
different can of worms ;)
For those who are interested, I just posted a pull request for this gallery
clean up <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1623>. It's
definitely a work in progress. In particular, the section names are less
than ideal, but I think github's PR interface is a better place for that
discussion than the wiki or mailing list. The new section names can be
found below:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1623/files#L0R86
Also, I moved a number of examples to the new sections in order to
demonstrate some of the clean up guidelines. BTW, one of the examples I
cleaned up is the clippath demo discussed earlier in this thread.
Best,
-Tony
