Matplotlib Sprint

We’ll be doing a sprint starting around 10AM on matplotlib. There aren’t a fixed set of topics yet, but please joing a discussion on matplotlib-users or matplotlib-devel if you have some specific ideas, or just add it to the wiki.

We have a list of official goals at http://matplotlib.sf.net/goals.html page and we could try to pick off as many of these as possible. Here are some things of particular interest to me (John Hunter)

Topic ideas

  • contribute to the user’s guide

  • support arbitrary clipping paths

  • gradient fills for polygons

  • provide mathtext fonts that don’t have the licensing restrictions

    • of bakoma, eg the umbellek fonts

  • unicode support / internationalization

  • expose latex/tex when available for mathtext rendering

  • expose agg drawing primitives (paths, etc) directly.

  • mapping and projection utilities

  • pygtk/matplotlib/ipython integration: build a gtk widget to embed as a shell in gtk apps

    • bonus marks, do it in a way that is backend independent.

  • provide an extension code method to blit the agg canvas to wx for wxagg

  • add your favorite plot type!
