matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello dev people,
I had an app where I needed the radar chart (aka Kiviat diagrams) source
code out of matplotlib. Turns out the example source code is very limited
the way it is currently written. Not good.
I re-wrote parts of the source code to make it much more flexible and easier
to include in an app. For example, if run in stand-alone mode, the user can
specify upto 25 different radar charts in one window. Titles and labels are
much more general as well. The legend can have multiple columns, etc.
If anyone is interested, I will be happy to send you my source code, hoping
you might consider replacing the current version in the docs with the one
I'll send.
Just reply and I'll send the code. You can decide from there whether to use
it to replace current version.
I did not want to attach the code if no one is interested.

Ok, good to know that someone else agrees. Enforcing this would probably
best be done through tests that explicitly tests for this in a variety of
different kinds of plots. Looks like yet another thing to add to my todo
list when I finish my current "distraction".
