Hi all,
I regularly use matplotlib for plotting data relating to my personal finances. At the moment I'm converting Decimals to floats. Do I still have to do this? If yes, are there any plans to support Decimals? I've tried searching the latest PDF document, my apologies if I've missed anything, in which case could I have a pointer please.

Our support for python decimals falls in the same category as any other non-float datatypes (ints, datetime, etc.): it might work, but probably not everywhere and most likely will end up being converted into floats anyway somewhere in the process.
If you see places where Decimal doesn’t work, file a bug request so that we can try to better generalize our code-base.
Cheers!
