The standard RC parameters handling in Matplotlib has always troubled me. The
syntax rc('figure.subplot', top=0.9) is not very conveniet if one wants to
change a singe property. Direct rcParams['figure.subplot.top'] seems better
suited in this case.
However, as the dots are already used to indicate grouping in RC, it seems
very natural to use the syntax like:
rc.figure.subplot.top = 0.9
In my opinion this is very elegant, efficient and much Pythonic approach.
In the attachment I include a path to the current git main repo, which enables
this way of handling RC properties. I would appreciate very much if they were
reviewed and included in the next release of Matplotlib (the patch is not
particularly large).
Best regrds,
Maciek

Hi everyone, We're part of the summer 2012 batch at Hackerschool (www.hackerschool.com) and we chose to spend this week contributing to matplotlib. We already submitted a handful of pull requests for bugs but we are looking for more to do. Are there any open issues or features you would like us to work on? - Amy, Vera, Beverly and Alan

Here is a quick list of all github issues tagged with "wishlist": https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues?labels=wishlist&page=1&state=open Thanks! Ben Root

See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9169052/partial-coloring-of-text-in-matplotlib Unfortunately, I don't believe this solution is going to work in a xlabel or ylabel without finding the location of the ylabel and putting these concatenated text objects there. It would be nice to have the label and title methods take a Text object (and a list of text objects -- each of whom could supply a piece of different colored text) in addition to a string. A list of text objects would be automagically concatenated together. How to generalize alignment of multiple text objects? Haven't thought that far yet. Either that or develop some additional color markup (and a parser) inside a string. Admittedly a bigger project -- though probably a better solution. M

For reference, I believe Ben's referring to #697 [1], for which I provided a possible implementation, which has the automagic concatenation you seek. 1. https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/697 best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7
