Ahh! Yes that is likely it. I assumed that relative dimensions were always
with respect to the previous point, but they are always with respect to the
previous non-control point.
Thanks!

This is a bit hacky, but there is apparently no validation that 'width' is
positive. If you set the `width` kwarg to negative you effectively get to
set the right edge.

Marin,
The sort of capability you are describing here is not possible with the 
present architecture.
Eric

the rcparams are stored in a sub-class of dict which does both name and
value validation on the way in. This is controlled by the class-level
attribute `validate` (which is a dict mapping from key-name -> validation
function). In principle you could update this dict to add rcparams on the
fly, however if the plotting functions don't know to look at the rcparams
they won't have any effect. To add new rcparams you need to modify the
upstream code.
There is a PR to add spine-related rcparams (
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2702) but it has not been
active in a while.

Hello everyone,
After working a bit on the styles, I noticed that some parameters could 
not be modified using an rc or style file (for example, turning off the 
right, left, up or down axis). I kind of saw how to do it using the 
|Axis.spine.set_visible()| method, but it would be better to be able to 
change it in the rc.
So I was wondering if there would be a way to add rcParameters using a 
method with an external file, or if I would have to change this in the 
mpl source?
Maybe a method that would add rcParameters on demand...
Thanks

The bar plot options allow you to set align='center' or align='edge'
But when it aligns on the edge, it always does left align. 
I can't find any documentation that allows me to align it as a right
align. Is this possible?

Actually, both syntax are valid.
I think the problem in you svg parser is that you're changing the reference point each time you iterate in points.
For example consider the path:
m 100,200 c 100,100 400,100 400,200 z => (m P0 c P1 P2 P3 z)
Your parser ended with vertex at (100.0, -200.0), (200.0, -300.0), (600.0, -400.0), (1000.0, -600.0)
which corresponds to [P0, P0+P1, P1+P2, P2+P3] but you want [P0, P0+P1, P0+P2, P0+P3]

Nertskull,
If no one responds, you might repost with some examples of what you’ve tried. I would suggest xticks and company, but I’m not sure if it works in your situation.

I've searched and can't figure this out.
And I'm not sure exactly the best way to do it.
Basically, I'm trying to make a bar graph, and I have about 400 bars (so
400 x-axis 'groups').
When I plot it, I get every bar labelled, but that is too much to be
seen. How do I make it so I only label every 10th bar, or every 50th bar?
The data is ordered data, so it doesn't matter if many don't have a label.
Thanks.

I indeed planned on making examples for every available style. Tony Yu's 
style gallery seems indeed quite interesting, I'll take a look.
I also planned to register it into USER_LIBRARY_PATHS to import it 
directly. You shouldn't have to import an other plugin if you wish to 
use a matplotlib built-in style...
You also talked about migrating to the main mpl organization. How 
exactly would that work?
Thanks
Marin
