Boxplot and violinplot gallery #3733
Comments
What I particularly liked about your example was the explanation of what all the parts of the boxplot mean and the comparison of the violin plot vs box plots. I also think your examples which are (mostly) one plot per example are much easier to read and sort out which code goes to what image than the current multi-panel examples. If you would be willing to merge your examples into the existing examples (how ever you see fit!) that would be awesome. As for format, the current doc building system can only deal with stand-alone scripts so that is probably the lowest common denominator. There was some talk at scipy of putting examples/tutorials in ipython notebooks, but that has not had much motion on it. |
My current idea would be
And I have a few more questions then ;) Q1: Do I have to provide the images separately somewhere, or are they automatically generated? Q2: I didn't use matplotlib "for [the] explanation of what all the parts of the boxplot mean " but annotated it in Keynote. How would I go about adding this to the example gallery (assuming that the png files are automatically generated)? |
The pngs are automatically generated from the scripts. The explanatory figure should go in the more prosey section of the docs anyway, maybe in one of the faqs? There you can put the png in the |
I submitted a pull request including points 1) and 2) and also added the boxplot explanatory figure to the |
Hi,
@tacaswell asked my recently if I could add my little boxplot gallery to "the main repo's docs".
I would be happy to contribute to matplotlib since I am a big fan of it, however, I haven't contributed to matplotlib before and it would be nice if you can help me a little bit here.
I think those boxplot examples would maybe better be suited for the
examples/statistics
directory, but I see that there is already a boxplot and violin plot tutorial. So, if you need this tutorial at all under those circumstances let me know where I should put it and which format you'd prefer.Thanks
