Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

The MEP tree has been moved into the main repo
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/doc/devel/MEP

I am pretty excited about this feature.

I don't remember if this got mentioned upthread, but this ties in with
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1109 as a nice way to set
up all of the constraints.
