Re: [Matplotlib-users] [matplotlib-devel] pyplot functions: do you rely on the hold kwarg?

One such candidate is the hold kwarg that every pyplot function has, with a True default. I don't think it serves any useful purpose now, and getting rid of it would allow considerable simplification to the code and, to a lesser extent, the documentation. The default behavior would not change, only the ability to change that behavior via either the rcParams['axes.hold'] parameter or the hold kwarg in a pyplot function call. If you routinely use 'hold=False' and believe that removing it would be a mistake, please let us know. I do actually use it with some regularity interactively, though I'm not particularly attached to it. Is there some equivalent though, like plt.whatever(..., hold=False) can become plt.clear(); plt.whatever(...) ? The semantics would be that the current figure remains the current figure, but is reset so that the next operation starts from scratch. I notice that plt.clear() does not exist, but maybe it has another spelling :-). (Basically the use case here is getting something like the edit-and-rerun-a-cell workflow, but when using a classic interactive REPL rather than the ipython notebook -- so I have a specific plot window up on my screen at a size and place where I can see it, and maybe some other plots in other windows in the background somewhere, and I want to quickly display different things into that window.) -n -- Nathaniel J.

[Matplotlib-users] Problem on Basemap gshhs data and the associated is_land function
Thanks for reading my mail. In basemap toolkit of matplotlib, I found the Coastline data used is from the GSHHS (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html).But I found it barely satisfying to use. （For that I am from China,but the 2 most prominent rivers,Yangtze river and Yellow river are not shown ,and another less important river is shown） So,here I am asking if there is how I can replace this GSHHS coasline data with my data?How is GSHHS data formatted?So I'd probably work some way out to make or find another set of data with the same format.

[Matplotlib-users] Produce KML from Matplolib
Hi all, Is there a way to produce a KML file from matplolib results as R and Matlab do ? - plotKML is a R package http://plotkml.r-forge.r-project.org - Matlab has the Google Earth Toolbox. Both of them allow to plot directly on GE I' have been digging around and found this old post :Producing a KML-friendly (Google Earth) image but nothing about how to actually a matplolib result as a KML file useable into Google Earth. I have seen some shape to KML packages, but nothing about raster. The ultimate goal being to use the plot, mplot3d, imshow, etc... to plot any python array on GE.

Are you specifying a sufficiently high resolution and using the drawrivers() method? I think that trying to put your own data into a form to be used as a direct substitute for the built-in data would be very difficult, but you can always plot things directly on the map.
