Perhaps I should add here that I'm happy to produce a patch for this, but I didn't really feel like my ideals were the design goals of this plotting code. That's why I didn't submit any patches earlier. The patch in that other thread really is not intended to be applied -- I wrote it to do what *I* wanted with no regards for any other flexible functionality. If I feel like we have a consensus on design, I will enshrine that design in a patch -- although, I'd be happy if someone beat me to it. I don't know that I myself have any specific design goals for this particular point aside from making the margins exactly what I say the margins are supposed to be -- It could be that "exactly what I say" is a bit more nebulous than I'm aware of. Perhaps this is better in sage-devel, if we're going to branch off into designing it. -- Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
