Mike Hansen and I discussed extending his new @options decorator to
handle cases like this (where you have "suboptions" that are then passed
directly into calls inside your plotting function, for example). From
our discussion before, it would look something like:
@suboption('legend', numpoints=2, pad=0.4, markerscale=0.6,
shadow=False, labelsep=0.015, handlelen=0.05, handletextsep=0.025,
axespad=None, color=(0.9,0.9,0.9), show=False)
@options(<put the plot options here>)
def plot():
# Here, we automatically have all the legend options in a
legend_options dictionary containing all the settings.
In calling the plot function, we can set the legend options using
plot(legend_numpoints=4, legend_pad=0.6), etc. Or maybe we could also
just accept a legend_options dictionary which could contain these keywords.
The nice thing is that then these options would be nicely integrated
into the options framework that Mike designed which makes all the
options consistent, lets people inquire about the default options and
reset to the default options, etc.
