Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib finance

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

Boris,

Please direct such questions to the user list in the future (I have
included the list on my reply).  You may need to join the list to be able
to post.

The reason that mpl.finance was deprecated is that none of the current core
developers work in finance and hence do not have the domain expertise to
maintain the module.  We are currently looking for a volunteer to take
responsibility for that bit of code.

I have no experience with plotting financial data and am hesitant to
speculate about performance, but have gotten 20-30 fps out of mpl on other
applications.
