[matplotlib-devel] Showing class heirarchy with Sphinx?

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

I'm going through and preparing the transforms.py documentation for our 
new Sphinx setup.  One of the things that's really important to document 
is the class heirarchy, but Sphinx doesn't appear to do that.  I've 
looked at the Sphinx documentation and nothing comes up.  I thought I'd 
check with this list first to see if I'm just missing something.  
Otherwise, I thought I would address this with the Sphinx folks to see 
what they would suggest.  I think this would also be useful to have in 
the "artists" api documentation.  For example, right now it isn't 
explicit that Line2D inherits from Artist.  We can, I suppose, implement 
some sort of standard to always put the base classes in the docstring, 
but it would be nice to automate that.

Cheers,
Mike
