Please note that matplotlib already addresses these issues. See, for example, this discussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04785.html We just have to change our polar plots to use the matplotlib polar plotting mechanism. That's something I've been meaning to do anyway, especially now that we use the matplotlib axes instead of our own. I probably won't get to it in the near future, though. Someone else is more than welcome to do it. Basically, right now, our "polar plots" are just normal plots with the coordinates undergoing the polar transformation on each point. I think it might be good to change this so that our polar plots actually use the polar projection to give matplotlib polar plots. See Examples of matplotlib polar plots: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_bar.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_demo.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_scatter.html or more exciting stuff that is currently in matplotlib and being refined: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_curvelinear_grid.html http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_floating_axis.html Thanks, Jason -- Jason Grout --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
