Requesting a new feature
========================

Please post feature requests to the
`Issue Tracker <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues>`_.

The Matplotlib developers will give feedback on the feature proposal. Since
Matplotlib is an open source project with limited resources, we encourage
users to then also

How-to: Contributing
====================

.. _how-to-request-feature:

Request a new feature
---------------------

Is there a feature you wish Matplotlib had? Then ask! The best
way to get started is to email the developer `mailing
list <matplotlib-devel@python.org>`_ for discussion.
This is an open source project developed primarily in the
contributors free time, so there is no guarantee that your
feature will be added. The *best* way to get the feature
you need added is to contribute it your self.
