Re: [Matplotlib-users] matlab/octave, python, r cross reference

Good work Vidar.

The Appendix Vicki mentions is in a great document which was mentioned
on the scipy list.
Perry Greenfield, one of the authors, says:
"There are appendices that contrast Python/numarray with IDL, I'd be
happy to include the equivalent for Matlab if anyone who is familiar
with both would like to write such appendices."

It may be nice for your guide to become part of the appendix of that 
document, and also to live a separate existence, as Vicki suggests may 
happen with the current IDL appendix. Whatever happens, I think it would 
be a good idea for these documents to be married in some way.
