Great ! Thanks for setting this up. One comment, it would be great to have a README.rst in the directory to have abstract of all MEPS at once in github (I can make a PR). I've started working on MEP28 (https://github.com/rougier/matplotlib/blob/MEP28/doc/devel/MEP/MEP28.rst). I intend to mak

The MEP tree has been moved into the main repo https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/doc/devel/MEP I am pretty excited about this feature. I don't remember if this got mentioned upthread, but this ties in with https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1109 as a nice way to se

Ok. I'll wait for the MEP directory to start writing a proposal. Here is a flavor of what I think could be done (to be seen using a fixed width font): "AB": ┌┐┌┐ │ A ││ B │ ││││ ││││ └┘└┘ "ABB": ┌──┐┌──┐ │ A

two problems with that: 1) that really doesn't make me want to use this approach, especially since I wouldn't know what ratios I would want in the first place. 2) it can't tell if I want a horizontal or vertical colorbar, whereas the lower-case notation could have some logic to auto-detect the user

I think you could specify colorbars using: ["AB"] (B is a vertical colorbar, 1/10 of total width) Nicolas > On 18 Mar 2015, at 18:52, Eric Firing wrote: > > On 2015/03/18 7:42 AM, Benjamin Root wrote: >> A thought... could this perhaps be extended somehow to specify colorbars >> in t

I love this layout spec idea! Gridspec is a pain in the ass. Bonus points for actually drawing the letter e.g. on the top left corner of each panel, so that the figures are ready for publication. On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 5:04 AM, Benjamin Root wrote: > I like that. Furthermore, now that we buil

I like that. Furthermore, now that we build and push the docs with every merge in master, there is less reason to not do it that way. On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 1:56 PM, Thomas Caswell wrote: > Currently we are doing MEPs on the wiki ( > https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/MEPTemplate) ,

Currently we are doing MEPs on the wiki ( https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/MEPTemplate) , but I would like to move them to be in the docs (make a MEP folder next to 'users'?) as the visibility on the wiki is low, there isn't a great way to leave line comments, and we should have these

Fantastic question. I don't see any mention of it in the docs. Perhaps I should create a MEP to discuss that... This is the best I could find: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki On Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 1:45 PM, Nicolas P. Rougier < nicolas.roug...@inria.fr> wrote: > > Yes, a MEP makes

That is neat. I would be sure to put in some "..seealso::" lines in places like plt.subplots and GridSpec and such. A thought... could this perhaps be extended somehow to specify colorbars in the layout? I am not sure how I would do that, but if we could come up with a way to do it, *that* would m

Hi,I've been experimenting with a simple idea for specifying plot layout in a rather intuitive way.The idea is simply to "draw" your layout using strings.Examples:layout = ["AB"]-> means two plots side by side with equal widthlayout = ["AAAB"]-> means two plots side by side A being 3 times wider th
