Re: [matplotlib-devel] MEP12: Reorganize example gallery and clean up examples

[Nicolas R. <Nic...@in...>]

Thanks a lot for this MEP and I would gladly contribute to the new gallery.

From my own experience with the current gallery, I would recommend to have simple scripts that illustrate one feature only, it make things more clear IMHO. From my attempt at making some alternative gallery (http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/coding/gallery/), I would also recommend a standard size for figures unless a different size is strictly necessary.

For section names, maybe we can use several different schemes with same figures ?

Also, one important thing is to have a page with all the figures such one can browse visually all the examples.
