The plots in here are great! However, I couldn’t figure out who won?
Cheers, Jody

*3rd Annual SciPy Conference John Hunter Plotting Contest Open for Entries:
Cash Prizes*
 
In memory of John Hunter, creator of matplotlib, we are pleased to announce
the Third Annual SciPy John Hunter Excellence in Plotting Competition. This
open competition aims to highlight the importance of quality plotting to
scientific progress and showcase the capabilities of the current generation
of plotting software. 
 
Participants are invited to submit scientific plots by 4/13/15. John
Hunter's family is graciously sponsoring cash prizes from 500ドル-1,000ドル for
the contest and the winning entries will be announced and displayed at the
conference. 
 
Full requirements and submission details here:

Ok the last one got garbled.
My apologies to the list but here is another go.
Hi Thomas,
I posted via nabble. It looks like something stripped the code.
Here is the bit where the axes are set up
 def setup_axes(self, fig, rect):
 """
 With custom locator and formatter.
 Note that the extreme values are swapped.
 """
 transform = PolarAxes.PolarTransform()
 angle_ticks = [(0, r"$Right$"),
 (.5*pi, r"$Forward$"),
 (pi, r"$Left$")]
 grid_locator1 = FixedLocator([v for v, s in angle_ticks])
 tick_formatter1 = DictFormatter(dict(angle_ticks))
 grid_locator2 = MaxNLocator(4)
 self.grid_helper = floating_axes.GridHelperCurveLinear(transform,
 extremes=(0, pi,
self.sonar_limit, 0),
 grid_locator1=grid_locator1,
 grid_locator2=grid_locator2,
 tick_formatter1=tick_formatter1,
 tick_formatter2=None,
 )
 self.axes = floating_axes.FloatingSubplot(fig, rect,
grid_helper=self.grid_helper)
 self.axes.axis["bottom"].major_ticklabels.set_rotation(180)
 self.axes.axis["left"].set_axis_direction("bottom")
 self.axes.grid(b=True, which='major', color='b', linestyle='-')
 fig.add_subplot(self.axes)
 # create a parasite axes whose transData in RA, cz
 self.auxiliary_axes = self.axes.get_aux_axes(transform)
 self.auxiliary_axes.patch = self.axes.patch # for auxiliary_axis to
have a clip path as in ax
 self.axes.patch.zorder=0.9 # but this has a side effect that the
patch is
 # drawn twice, and possibly over some other
 # artists. So, we decrease the zorder a bit to
 # prevent this.
 self.lines, = self.auxiliary_axes.plot(self.theta, self.radius)
and here is the bit where the plot is updated
 def idleCallback(self):
 global root
 plotit = False
 logging.debug('Acquire the data lock')
 self.dataLock.acquire()
 if self.newSonarDataAvailable:
 plotit = True
 theta = self.theta[:]
 radius = self.radius[:]
 selfNewSonarDataAvailable = False
 self.dataLock.release()
# theta.insert(0, 0.)
# theta.append(0.)
# radius.insert(0, 0.)
# radius.append(0.)
 if plotit:
 logging.debug('Plotting')
 self.lines.set_data(theta, radius)
 self.axes.relim()
 self.axes.autoscale_view()
 self.canvas.draw()
if have also put the full code file here
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84613021/barnaby.py> 
As you can see I have been trying a few other things. Looks like if am
missing the boat pretty comprehensively!

And if I look at this on nabble the code looks fine, it just was not
redndering in inbox. Sorry, the issues is on my end.

Can you include a minimal example of the code you are using (it looks like
you did include code, but it did not come through)? It is very hard to
guess at what is wrong without it.
