Re: [matplotlib-devel] is R wrong? (boxplot)

2014-02-15 Thread Thomas A Caswell
As a side note, adding jitter has been discussed before (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/2750) in a slightly different context and the consensus was to _not_ add it to mpl (as it is a non-deterministic data transformation). Tom On Sat, Feb 15, 2014 at 10:45 PM, Yaroslav Halchenko

There needs to be layers to the interface. At the bottom there is super general stuff that will cover (we hope) 100% of use cases. However, the cost is a very verbose interface with lots of knobs. To cope with this there are higher level function which can deal with 90% of the use cases and do

Please keep all emails in-band I was commenting that the issue you are having with getting easy-to-use pre-built figures in a non-interactive program without dragging pyplot in is the same as what I think the root of 2503 is and the re-factor I proposed to make your life easier would also help

2013-10-11 Thread Thomas A Caswell
embedding vs launching is a distinction without a difference, you are integrating matplotlib with your own gui application. That said, it would be nice to re-factor the figure_manager classes so they they make no reference to `Gcf` or anything associated with pylab and could be easily re-used. I

If you are embedding matplotlib, do not import `pyplot`. `pyplot` sets up a bunch of gui-magic (tm) in the background (as you found in `figure_manager`). Tom On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Federico Ariza wrote: > Hello everybody > > Working on one GTK3 app, that calls matplotli

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Reorganizing axes plot methods

2013-07-09 Thread Thomas A Caswell
I second Eric's concern about pyplot being imported into everything. It will really mess up the people that are embedding matplotlib into guis because pyplot starts up gui mainloops if you are using an interactive backend. There is a genre of question on SO that is 'why isn't pypl

I think there is something to be said for not starting from pylab. Answering questions on SO, a good chunk of them (by volume) can be traced back to not understanding the magic that pylab is doing for you in the background or not even knowing magic is being done for you. Starting from pylab makes

- it has the advantage of choosing points that actually lie on the curve, which is better visually, and would seem to be a better solution for publication quality plots. The method for simplifying the paths is quite simple and effective, but a bit crude- there are other algorithms you might look i
