Since the commit seems most recent, I am trying your suggestion.

Finally! I was able to generate the docs successfully. Initially, the matplotlib version was 2.0.0+4174.g3e2e31e and subsequent update resulted in 3.1.2. However, installing from source resulted in matplotlib version to be 3.1.1+2697.gcf6c569. Things seem to be fine with this version of matplotlib.

I started making some documentation. Would you guys prefer the “cheatsheet” it to be in tex format (to generate downloadable pdf) or in webpage format (for which it needs to be written rst format I believe) as in the numpy for matlab users?

rst same as numpy to Matlab. Pandoc can convert rst to PDF so hopefully that shouldn’t be an issue either. Thanks!

@story645 @SKPsanjeevi Hello I just come across this conversation.

[SKPsanjeevi] I started making some documentation.

Was those documentation ever published somewhere?

I am still on it and answering questions in Stack Overflow to get a feel of which features are in demand under matplotlib tag. Do you want to go for this documentation?

@SKPsanjeevi Over the weekend I made a PR with a template that I have in mind. If you have any document written down I’ll be happy to merge with yours

Or you can add your features on top of mine
