Re: [matplotlib-devel] OSX framework detection

2014-08-15 Thread Chris Beaumont
Hi Derek, the framework. Though, if I understand correctly, Anaconda provides a framework version of the interpreter pythonw and a non-frameworked python? This is right -- the GUI backends to matplotlib cause python to crash, but not pythonw. This is annoying, since the two binaries are

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Faceted plotting

Hi Damon, Thanks for your thoughts on how this should fit in with MPLs API. My $0.02: What would feel more natural is if I could do the following: f = Facet(...) ax.facet(f, 'scatter') Three things about this style bother me: 1. It seems too verbose (facet gets typed a lot -- 4 times if you

Pandas has some nice tools to make faceted plots -- small multiples of plots where data is grouped by category ( http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/rplot.html). However, I think there would be value in having this functionality built into matplotlib. Mainly: 1. Not every dataset lives in

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Plot or Not: voting to create better matplotlibrc

2013-07-22 Thread Chris Beaumont
I had the same question about opt-out vs opt-in. Personally, I vote for opt-out. I would like to see each release of MPL have an associated style (which may be the same as the last release, but maybe not). With Tony's style PR, users that need constant styles would either put `style.use('1.3')` in
