matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

basically this works:
plot([1], [1], "*")
but I think it would be more convenient to add some kind of auto casting to the function in order to make this
plot(1, 1, "*")
work.
I use those single-point-plotting-commands a lot in order to highlight a special point in a series of data, but I forget the [] all the time.
Besides being much more convenient (at least for me) this behavior would also be much closer to the matlab version, since this works there without any problems.
Any ideas/comments/criticism on this?

The interface itself is mostly the same, although there are a few 
enhancements to make it easier to use. To main advantages of using 
mathtex are that, being an external project, it is likely to 
experience a wider audience than the current code in matplotlib.
This should result in a package that is better maintained with more 
features. Currently, however, it is almost exactly the same as the 
mathtext code in matplotlib.

There is the project code site here: http://code.google.com/p/mathtex/ 
while my project blog is here: http://gsoc-mathtex.blogspot.com/

Hi all,
I've just tried the Qt4 backend and noticed that, different from the 
previous backend I was using, the last command of a script pylab.show() 
does not raise the figures to the front (they show up but in the 
background). This is the case at least on my OS X machine. I personally 
feels like the figures taking becoming the active windows should be the 
right behavior. In case, this is valuable to the project, please find 
below at patch that achieves that behavior.
