= Matplotlib Sprint = We'll be doing a sprint starting around 10AM on matplotlib. There aren't a fixed set of topics yet, but please joing a discussion on matplotlib-users or matplotlib-devel if you have some specific ideas, or just add it to the wiki. We have a list of official goals at http://matplotlib.sf.net/goals.html page and we could try to pick off as many of these as possible. Here are some things of particular interest to me (John Hunter) Topic 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. * mapping and projection utilities * pygtk/matplotlib/ipython integration: build a gtk widget to embed as a shell in gtk apps * bonus marks, do it in a way that is backend independent. * provide an extension code method to blit the agg canvas to wx for wxagg * add your favorite plot type! Participants * John Hunter * John Gill * Michael Twomey
