Hi all,
First: I noticed in the changelog to 1.0 that a lot of work has gone into splines. Thanks!
In particular, I notice commit message "splines and ticks: implement smart bounds" from 20 Dec 2009 (commit 58d31c10eef8648cd0fb81d5c0f0bcd0c05fe9a1 in astraw's github repository, labeled as git-svn-id: https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib@...3238… f61c4167-ca0d-0410-bb4a-bb21726e55ed).
What are "smart bounds"? It looks desirable to do, but it defaults to off, I think.
Thanks,
Jason
For clarification: this change is related to "spines" not "splines". Spines are the feature that allows the axes ticks to be plotted somewhere in the middle of the plot, rather than always at the edges. See here:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html?highlight=spine%20codex
Splines would refer to Bezier curves. See here:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/dolphin.html?highlight=dolphin%20codex
Which feature are you interested in?
That said, I'm not sure what the spine smart bounds work is about, but I suspect Andrew Straw does.

Sorry, I mistyped that: I meant "spines".
We use spines to do the axes in Sage, and in updating the matplotlib package, I was wondering if we could take advantage of the "smart bound" feature. It certainly sounded interesting.
Thanks,
Jason
