I think that is a great idea. I think it is worthwhile to put a highlighted spot, or whatever, that shows matplotlib plots in academic publications. Additionally, it is good for enlarging the matplotlib user base to ask people to acknowledge matplotlib in their papers if they use matplotlib to

[Matplotlib-users] Problem with shared axis

Hi, I am working on a time-series data browser based on matplotlib. In general, it shows a N_row x 1_col stack of axes, which share the x axis, the time axis. It is nice that matplotlib offers the sharex option so that the data can be zoomed simultaneously in time. However, one problem with the

The problem is with many journals the content (including figures) is copyright by the journal, not the author. But I imagine most journals would grant permission, it's just an additional step that should be taken where required. The circos layout looks nice! - Floris On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at

For example, in astronomy, a lot of people will 'publish' their paper to Arxiv before it is accepted into a journal. Arxiv is accessible by the general public and a little digging around will reveal that you can download the actual Latex source for the paper. This includes all of the figures.
