matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Greetings denizens,
I have been playing with custom triangulations in the plot_trisurf
method of the mplot3d toolkit. I thought I would share my sweet
creation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccptm6ok7nd3yn5/mobius.png
Let me know your thoughts. I should probably make a pull request out
of this, but the code is not currently readable by humans. I will tidy
it up first. Make it look purrty.
Lots of love,
Damon

The source of that file has always been `matplotlibrc.template` at the 
root of the source tree. That file is copied (by the build process) to 
lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc, but it doesn't exist in the raw 
source tree. I'm not sure what matplotlib.conf is or was -- but I hope 
matplotlibrc.template fits the bill for the Debian package's purposes.

Is this the same colour map? To me it looks like jet or rainbow vs. coolwarm. 
The latter had been endorsed by a number of people here for its visualisation 
qualities [http://www.sandia.gov/~kmorel/documents/ColorMaps/]; 
maybe it has just become the new default?

Are those different colour maps? Do they look the same when you explicitly
set cmap=cm.jet?

Thanks for the release!
I'm testing the Debian packaging, and I noticed that the file
lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf disappeared between 1.1.1 and
1.2.0rc1. That was a sample file that was nice to ship to users to
have an idea what can be customized. We were also shipping it into
/usr/share/matplotlib/ so a first configuration was already provided
to users. Do you have something to suggest to restore the situation? I
don't know if you like to add the file back (maybe in a different
location) or if we should point users to the doc and stop.
Cheers,

Wooohooo! Time to stretch that itchy merge finger!
Thanks for the recognition, and congratulations to Christoph and Russell,
too! This growth will excite more teamwork and development. I'm stoked to
be a part of it.
Thanks all,
Damon

Congrats to the three of you. The hard work that you all put in doesn't go
unnoticed, and is massively appreciated!
Mike, as lead developer, your opening round of beers for mpl devs at
SciPy13 is beginning to look costly. ;-)

Welcome aboard!

Damon McDougall, Christoph Gohlke and Russell Owen have been added to 
the set of core developers with push rights and the ability to upload 
files to the github download page.
Damon has come recently on the scene, but has provided all kinds of 
helpful bug triaging and fixing during the 1.2.0 release cycle, as well 
as cool new features such as 3d trisurfaces and stacked plots, to name 
only a few.
Christoph Gohlke, besides providing tons of support on the mailing list 
for a long while, has been providing Windows binaries for the past few 
releases.
Russell Owen has been providing Mac OS-X builds for the past few 
releases and has helped track down some portability problems in the 
1.2.0 release.
Thanks to everyone on the growing team!
Mike
