Hello, I recently committed a support for a curvelinear grid in the axes_grid toolkit. What it does for you is to draw a ticks and grid appropriate for a curvelinear coordinate system, as in the example below. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/_images/demo_floating_axis1.png The main motivation behind this work was to display astronomical images with matplotlib. However, I included this in the axes_grid toolkit hoping that this could be also useful in other fields. The reason I'm posting this email is related to a possible refactoring of the matplolib, that John once mentioned, to better support the ticks and spines. To support the curvelinear grid, I had to create a customized Axes class, and I believe that some of my effort overlaps with the refactoring that John mentioned. In the linked document below, I tried to describe the changes I made for this. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axislines.html I guess some of my idea or implementation may be considered to be a part of the refactoring (if it ever happens :) ). Or, at least, I hope that the issues I had with mpl's current Axes implementation are reflected in the refactoring efforts. Well, I just wanted to toss around some ideas and hear what others think. Regards, -JJ ps. Are we having a sprint during the scipy conference by the way? I may join remotely.

I'll definitely be there Sat and Sun, so having you join in remotely would be great. I haven't organized any official topics yet, but we have plenty to do so I think we'll just look at the skills and interests of those joining live or virtually and hammer away. JDH

Great -- give that we have JJ (remotely), you and me confirmed, two obvious topics to work on are: * buildbot : JDH & Andrew * integrating JJ's curvilinear ticking w/ Andrew's spines I'm up for anything else that people want to work on, but at least we'll have the right people in the room, if only virtually, for these topics. Anyone else planning on attending on-ground or on-line? JDH
I'll be there on the ground, though my flight leaves 1:50 on Sunday. We might also consider doing some discussions during the week, maybe a BoF?

If there is anything in particular you want to work on during the sprint, let me know. As for a BoF, I generally find discussions less useful than coding, since python is such a great prototyping language, though there will be many opportunities to brainstorm over beers, etc... Are there topics in particular you have in mind? JDH
