[Matplotlib-users] Looking for feedback on figures using matplotlib and jupyter notebook

[Andreas M. <t3...@gm...>]

Hi all.

This is about a joint jupyter-notebook / matplotlib problem I've been 
thinking about.
So I'm writing a book using jupyter-notebook, and all my figures are 
generated using matplotlib.

In books, there is usually a figure caption with a running number and 
some description.
 From what I read, the best way to add captions is just using plt.text. 
However, the caption should probably be in the markup,
not in a rendered PNG. I'm not sure if changing the backend might help, 
but that probably doesn't make the notebook happy?

The other problem is that I want to have running numbers that I can 
refer to by a tag (as you would in latex).
That is more of a notebook problem, though.

Any feedback would be very welcome.

Cheers,
Andy
