[Matplotlib-users] matplotlib documentation from python notebook?

[Jody K. <jk...@uv...>]

Hi all,

If I want to contribute *.rst files to the matplotlib documentation, I can see a few styles already contributed, at least one of which makes extensive use of ipython (http://matplotlib.org/users/image_tutorial.html). However, even it makes use of `.. sourcecode:: python` and `.. plot::` blocks.

If I convert an ipython notebook to rst, it formats as: `.. code:: python` and instead of making plots it loads images:
 `.. image:: MyExample_files/MyExample_1_0.png`

So, is there an acceptable way to directly make matplotlib documentation directly from a notebook?  I didn’t see anything, but wanted to check, as that would by far be the easiest way to make a *.rst that had structured text, code, and plots.

Thanks,   Jody
