Suggested improvements to the gallery #7956
Description
These are all incremental improvements that should be relatively noncontroversial -- assuming we don't go the route of just rewriting the entire thing from scratch. If you are a committer, feel free to edit the list below to either add items or mark them as done.
- http://matplotlib.org/devdocs/examples/api/histogram_path_demo.html: Came in in cd88e29, technique seems quite low-level, corresponding animation example was removed three years ago in remove old animtion examples. #2779.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo.html
http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo_features.html slightly misleading, xref fill_demo and fill_between_demo are slightly misleading #5827. Done in merge fill_demo and fill_demo_features #8154, but still misleading IMO.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/sankey_demo_old.html: remove (we have builtin support for such diagrams now). Done in MAINT cleaning up of gallery examples. #7972.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_features.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_masking.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_start_points.html: should be merged in a single example. Merged streamline examples #8336
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/equal_aspect_ratio.html: relies on plt.axes() to return the already existing implicit axes, which is not really documented directly; should use plt.gca() instead (given that it's a pylab example).
- Update vlines example with axes wide lines. #7878 modified examples/pylab_examples/vline_hline_demo.py to use blended_transform_factory, but that's really overkill: see Update vlines example with axes wide lines. #7878 (comment).
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/newscalarformatter_demo.html: drop OldScalarFormatter (which should probably be deprecated anyways...) and use one formatter per subplot.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/misc/sample_data_demo.html: remove, users should probably not rely on sample data. Done in MAINT cleaning up of gallery examples. #7972.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/spectrum_demo.html: add tight_layout() call. Done in Fix layout of spectrum_demo.py #8158.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/accented_text.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/text_labels_and_annotations/unicode_demo.html: remove Clean up and move accented text example #8065
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/matshow.html: only keep middle plot Done in Remove example of matrix of size (12, 12) and (64, 64) #8094
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/manual_axis.html: remove (deprecated) Done in MAINT cleaning up of gallery examples. #7972.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/text_handles.html: remove; it refers to an apparently non-existing text_themes examples which may be worth restoring (perhaps) Done in MAINT cleaning up of gallery examples. #7972.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/toggle_images.html: remove or move to event handling section. Done in MAINT cleaning up of gallery examples. #7972.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo_features.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo.html: merge. Done in merge fill_demo and fill_demo_features #8154.
- http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_demo.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html: merge. Done in merged the tex_X.py files into a single file tex.py #8199.

On the pylab example, I support your decision and propose a drastic reduction in pylab examples. Like a 5-10 line example of each of the main plot types: bar, line, scatter, heat, and maybe one or two scientific plots (like tricolor or whatever) and hist. Anything more than that, I think there should just be some large text at the top of the pylab examples page that says "besides these, the following plot types are also available in pylab: list" and possibly one example with the OO side by side with the pylab to show readers how to translate OO examples to pylab notation (and vice versa).

By experience, any and all documentation changes is controversial :)

Hi, I am a new and I would like to contribute. Is one of the issues especially well suited for a new contributor?
anntzer commented on Feb 4, 2017
looks like an easy place to get started.

Hi, I am a new and I would like to contribute. Is there anyone who work on tex_demo examples?
anntzer commented on Mar 5, 2017
Not as far as I can see.

Beginner here: Let's say I would like to solve this issue. http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_demo.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html: merge.
How to perform the modifications? I do not see any page to log in and make changes.
story645 commented on Apr 28, 2017
You make the changes in the source python file that the html is generated from.. For example, tex_demo.html is generated from https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/examples/pylab_examples/tex_demo.py
SKPsanjeevi commented on Apr 28, 2017
Oh yeah. Just forked the code from github. Thanks!

Hi, I am a beginner here. May I solve the following issue?
http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo.html
story645 commented on Oct 16, 2019
@darrenzhang2000 go for it!

The fill_demo was removed between version 2.0 and 2.1. So I fear there is nothing to be done anymore. I marked this point as solved by #11009, which changed fill.py accordingly.

If this issue still persists, can I be assigned to it??
story645 commented on May 21, 2020
Closing since all the tasks appear to be completed.
