plotting core page

[Zsailer]

Libraries to discuss on the "Scientific Python's plotting core"

• Matplotlib
• Seaborn
• Altair
• Plotly?

I'm currently working on the plotting page. I am planning to create galleries for each plotting package.

Each gallery will show a few standard plots like:

• scatter
• bar
• line
• box
• fill_between
• others?

Once I have the gallery logic in place, it should be easy to add examples. If anyone wants to take a crack at adding examples, that would be great!

Cool, sounds good. I'd be happy to work on adding examples once you get the framework in place.

[Zsailer]

Initial implementation appears in PR #18

[lcwheeler]

Any idea why the updated plotting page isn't rendering on the webpage?

[Zsailer]

Forgot to include the sphinx_gallery extension in the requirements.txt. Fixing now.

[lcwheeler]

👍

[Zsailer]

Should be working now!

[lcwheeler]

Yep! Looks like it's working.

@Zsailer how did you go about making all the thumbnail images exactly the same dimensions with white border?

[lcwheeler]

I am doing it manually in inkscape, just wondering if you had a more streamlined approach.

[Zsailer]

you'll need to install sphinx-gallery (pip install sphinx-gallery). Then, when you call make html locally on the docs, it will automatically build the thumbnails when it builds the docs.

I need to add this the the README in docs/README.md
