[Yt-dev] Request for review of "minimal image" structure

[j s oishi]

Matt,

One thing to think very hard about is that reason *must* be able to
generate publication quality plots. Of course, this is *very* hard,
and we don't need our minimal image system to handle that. One way
toward doing that is to make sure the system has a direct mapping to
matplotlib for publication quality plots. If we do that, then we
maintain the system for putting things over the wire to Reason, but we
can always generate a more beautiful eps/pdf for publication when
necessary.
