matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi,
Are there any library which can plot regions and boundaries given
inequalities, using matplotlib? Inequality can be given as sympy
inequality object, function or data points. Matplotlib has functions
to fill regions but they are too primitive for my needs. I will
create my own library to do that using matplotlib if there is nothing
like that, but I thought I'd check it first. Also, if you have other
forums I better post this question, please let me know (StackOverflow
maybe?).
Best,
Takafumi

Hi guys, 
 
I'm the author of
http://messymind.net/2012/07/making-matplotlib-look-like-ggplot/ which
has gained a bit of interest so I'd like to clean it up and package it
as a module to put on github. I'd like to know if I can control tick
frequency via rcparams or whether there's a way to do it better than my
current approach of
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator((plt.xticks()[0][1]-plt.xtick
s()[0][0]) / 2.0))
This fails in a number of cases like date axes and assumes linear major
tick distribution. 
 
My other question is how should I go about having a function
automatically called on all axes prior to the figures being displayed or
saved. My current implementation requires the user to call rstyle(axis)
prior to rendering, I'd like to abstract this away.
 
Thanks in advance,
Serge.
