Hello,
I’m new to the matplotlib-devel list, but I wanted to ask for your opinions and suggestions about sharing a toolkit/module for drawing Sankey diagrams. I’ve continued from the work of Yannick Chopin (see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/sankey_demo.html) to help support more complex diagrams. I’m attaching an example.
Specifically, I’d like to know:
-
Would the matplotlib community be interested in the code shared under a GPL license? Due to the fact that there are companies selling Sankey software (see http://www.sankey-diagrams.com/sankey-diagram-software/), I’d rather keep a little more control than BSD provides.
-
If there is
interest, would the code be best shared as a matplotlib toolkit? It seems so, but I don’t think it directly fits with any of the other current toolkits. -
If it is best shared as a toolkit, how would I go about doing it? Currently, the code exists as about 900 lines of Python with five examples and inline documentation. Do I need to make special preparations?
Thank you!
Kevin
