I want to share an idea for a feature that would make working with Matplotlib really pleasant in VS Code:
There could be an extension that opens a sidebar with thumbnails of the most common Matplotlib features. When one wants to use one of the features, one simply clicks on it, and the extension will directly insert the code into the python script.
Last week, we at manim programmed such an extension for our project:
@nicolas.rougier : There is a really nice cheat sheet in the end of your book, maybe these thumbnails could serve as a starting point for such an extension.
I do not have the time capacity to write this Matplotlib extension myself, but maybe there are people who are interested to add such a Matplotlib feature to VS Code.
