Re: [matplotlib-devel] Another go at tables.

[John G. <jn...@eu...>]

John,

Thanks for all the fixes.  Having data_table as matplotlib.matlab.table
is good + also on the axes.

I've attached my latest demo script -- was in the process of trying to
simplify the example for you, but have been a bit busy the last couple
of days.

I split the colour generating stuff into colours.py -- might be useful
to have this sort of thing available somewhere in matplotlib.

Re: the numbers in the table not matching up in the demo.  The numbers I
put in the table are the total height of the columns, not just the
incremental heights (the place where I use these things are to show loss
statistics at different return periods + the users want to see the full
numbers not the incremental stuff).   I've just re-read this para and it
is about as clear as mud, so yell if it isn't making sense alongside the
picture.

John
