Agreed. Matplotlib has a lot of functionality behind it. I've been
getting terribly mixed up over the last couple weeks trying to put
together figures using different methods--some matplotlib, some
not. Sticking with one official method seems like the best plan and
easier from our perspective too.<br>

it, then people can do whatever they want with it using all the
stuff matplotlib has to offer.<br>

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