matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

I think this illustration deserves its places amongst the mpl gallery
--probably somewhere towards the very beginning.
Thanks for the well documented code Nicolas.

I mean that matplotlib probably shouldn't have drange (although, this
is just IMHO).

We are most certainly "doing it wrong" as the current code was merely
a hack due to the lack of such features in numpy. The next numpy
release should have this, but we will still need the current hacks for
a little while longer due to support for previous versions of numpy.
Maybe we ought to look into some sort of logic that would utilize
numpy's drange if it is available and fall back to ours otherwise?

Hi,
I've been playing with matplotlib to check if it can produce graphics like:
http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/anandtech-nvidia-geforce-480-ati-benchmark2.png
Here is the result:

and the script (as attachment)
I do not know if it's worth adding it to examples ?
