[matplotlib-devel] favicon submission
I am a big fan of favicons. I think MPL should definitely have one for the impending 1.0 release. So I made one for you. To use, simply place this file in the top level web directory. That is usually all that is required. But some browsers prefer if you put: link rel=shortcut icon href=favicon.ico in the header of the html pages.

Re: [matplotlib-devel] favicon submission
Cool. Looks good. I did tweak the image a bit to make the colors stand out better. But only slightly. Because when I made the shapes too big, the image lost it's MPL feel. Here is the source image I used to create the icon. Feel free to give it a go. There are a number of programs that can turn the image into an icon. I like Any to Icon. And to preview the icon, you can simply open the file in a web browser. -Ben From: John Hunter [jdh2...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 12:18 PM To: Ben Axelrod Cc: matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [matplotlib-devel] favicon submission On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 11:16 AM, John Hunter jdh2...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 9:33 AM, Ben Axelrod baxel...@coroware.com wrote: I am a big fan of favicons.
