matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
I'm a happy user of matplotlib. I have both a usage question and a more=20
developer oriented question. First the usage question. I have some=20
trouble using the polarplot. I routinely need to plot complex valued=20
data on a polar grid. But it seems the polar plot requires an extra step=20
where I have to compute the magnitude and phase of my data. Is there an=20
easy way around this?
I would like to develop and contribute a smithchart plot routine but I'm=20
not sure what the best way would be to integrate it into=20
matplotlib.matlab. I understand I would need to create a subclass of=20
Axes for the grid but how is this then integrated into the matlab.axes=20
command? A plotsmithchart command should definately understand complex=20
valued data.
A smithchart grid contains a lot of arcs, looking at how the grid is=20
implemented in PolarAxes it seems there are no circle or arc primitives.=20
Is this correct?
for a brief introduction to the smith chart see:

Best regards,

Hi there,
after the mess I created by submitting those patches using dict.pop (which is 
not available in Python 2.2) here is a patch that hopefully solves the 
problems:
As I found out, cbook.py already contained a routine popd which is supposed to 
be a replacement for dict.pop, which is missing in Python2.2. This new patch 
now reverts to my original kwargs-cleanup-patch but replaces pop by popd
The code runs through examples/backend_driver.py (except for some unrelated 
issue in the PS backend which I do not have the time to debug right now)
B.t.w: In axes.py, line 1461, the CVS version contains a typo "gry" instead of 
"get" which is also fixed by this patch.
Ciao,
Nobbi
