[Matplotlib-users] pycon - sprint?

[John H. <jdh...@ac...>]

Anyone going to pycon?  I'll be giving a talk on matplotlib on
Wednesday -- http://www.python.org/pycon/2005/schedule.html -- and
would enjoy attaching faces to all these posts....

A sprint might be fun.  It turns out that Monday is the only day I can
do a sprint.  We could do something general purpose like picking goals
off the http://matplotlib.sf.net/goals.html page, or highly focused.
A few ideas, but please throw out more ideas

  * contribute to the user's guide

  * support arbitrary clipping paths

  * gradient fills for polygons

  * provide mathtext fonts that don't have the licensing restrictions
    of bakoma, eg the umbellek fonts

  * unicode support / internationalization
 
  * expose latex/tex when available for mathtext rendering

  * expose agg drawing primitives (paths, etc) directly.
