Refresh what's new page for 3.3.0 #17858

QuLogic · 2020-07-08T20:49:32Z

PR Summary

This fixes some minor things (see commit messages), but major thing is the re-ordering.

Generally, this is things-with-a-plot, then things-with-an-example, then some random other stuff, and finally groups of things-with-something-in-common (e.g., all rcParams together).

Now, I'll be adding in plots, but this is maybe large enough to review already.

PR Checklist

[N/A] Has Pytest style unit tests
Code is Flake 8 compliant
New features are documented, with examples if plot related
Documentation is sphinx and numpydoc compliant
Added an entry to doc/users/next_whats_new/ if major new feature (follow instructions in README.rst there)
[N/A] Documented in doc/api/next_api_changes/* if API changed in a backward-incompatible way

This totally messed up the page ToC.

Generally, this is things-with-a-plot, then things-with-an-example, then some random other stuff, and finally groups of things-with-something-in-common (e.g., all rcParams together).

Added more plots, added more entries (like turbo, pie normalize, etc.). You may wish to review the commits separately.

For all my nitpicks, I really do 😍 this what's new.
Big picture, can you group all the RCParam stuff under a subheading, and same /w all the font/text stuff. Maybe also the ticks & labels stuff (the titling, coloring. formatting, etc). the semantic and sharing stuff is all axes creation/management.

-``canvas.mpl_connect("button_press_event", button_press_handler)``, rather than
-having to write wrapper functions that fill in the (now optional) *canvas* and
-*toolbar* parameters.
+Instead, they are implemented using vanilla JavaScript. Please report any


plain Javascript

Vanilla JS is a 'thing'.

yes, that's why I was kinda confused about this terminology here, didn't grok til just now that that's a joke page.

QuLogic · 2020-07-10T06:20:43Z

rcParams are already in a subheading; it's just such a low level that our styling doesn't make it super obvious.

QuLogic · 2020-07-10T07:14:00Z

I made some edits except for the things I don't know about noted above. I haven't done any of the requested re-ordering yet. Do you mean group as in move together, or add more headings?

story645 · 2020-07-10T16:57:58Z

Both - group like things together under a subheading, like paths and 3d already have.

QuLogic · 2020-07-10T21:36:47Z

My new order is now:

Figure and Axes creation / management
- Provisional API for composing semantic axes layouts from text or nested lists
- GridSpec.subplots()
- New Axes.sharex, Axes.sharey methods
- tight_layout now supports suptitle
- Setting axes box aspect
Colors and colormaps
- Turbo colormap
- colors.BoundaryNorm supports extend keyword argument
- Text color for legend labels
- Pcolor and Pcolormesh now accept shading='nearest' and 'auto'
Titles, ticks, and labels
- Align labels to Axes edges
- Allow tick formatters to be set with str or function inputs
- Axes.set_title gains a y keyword argument to control auto positioning
- Offset text is now set to the top when using axis.tick_top()
Fonts
- Simple syntax to select fonts by absolute path
- Improved font weight detection

followed by these, which have not changed, so I'm not going to copy&paste all the subheadings:

rcParams improvements
3D Axes improvements
Interactive tool improvements
Functions to compute a Path's size
Backend-specific improvements

So now I'm wondering where to put:

New Axes.axline method
Dates use a modern epoch
Lines now accept MarkerStyle instances as input
imshow now coerces 3D arrays with depth 1 to 2D
~~Set zorder of contour labels~~ This can go in: Titles, ticks and labels
Better control of Axes.pie normalization

jklymak · 2020-07-11T21:20:05Z

So now I'm wondering where to put:

I think its OK to have a "other changes" section...

story645

Agree w/ @jklymak & also most of the rest of these have to do w/ plot types:

New Axes.axline method
imshow now coerces 3D arrays with depth 1 to 2D
Better control of Axes.pie normalization

And d

Dates use a modern epoch
Lines now accept MarkerStyle instances as input

+    # For the purposes of keeping the documentation build warning-free, and
+    # future proof for when the deprecation is made permanent, we pass

+    ax[1, 0].pie(x, autopct='%1.2f%%', labels=label(x), normalize=False)
+    ax[1, 0].set_title('normalize unspecified\nsum(x) < 1')
+    ax[1, 1].pie(x * 10, autopct='%1.2f%%', labels=label(x * 10),
+                 normalize=True)
+    ax[1, 1].set_title('normalize unspecified\nsum(x) > 1')
+


why does this need to be in the what's new?

What part specifically?

the code and especially this note:

For the purposes of keeping the documentation build warning-free, and
# future proof for when the deprecation is made permanent, we pass
# normalize here explicitly anyway.

Sorry, I'm confused; didn't you ask for code?

😦 sorry for the confusion, I did ask for code and the note threw me 'cause I read it as explaining a deprecated feature rather than a new one. Maybe movinng the comment under the code could make it clearer?

Oh, well this is showing deprecated behaviour as comparison with the new explicit one, but because it's deprecated, I had to use the new explicit one in the code. It's labelled with the old way in the figure though. (Note, this code isn't shown by default.) I could remove it or change the comment description a little?

Oh, if the code/comment isn't shown than it's good enough...

QuLogic · 2020-07-14T06:49:38Z

I pushed the re-ordering and used the following sections for the remaining items:

Plot-type specific changes
- New Axes.axline method
- imshow now coerces 3D arrays with depth 1 to 2D
- Better control of Axes.pie normalization
Other changes
- Dates use a modern epoch
- Lines now accept MarkerStyle instances as input

I'm not super-happy with that first section name, so suggestions welcome.

story645

Thanks for putting up w/ my comments - it's now coherent enough to make me happy.
