ENH new static images for the frontpage #7541
Conversation
Here is the code to produce the new static images for the website frontpage
|
They're a bit larger; do they fit well on the front page (does the CSS handle it?)? |
|
There is a screenshot of the frontpage at the top of the description of the comment that shows the current rendering. |
|
The images are fixed to 162x139 in the css (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/doc/_static/mpl.css#L759). We should render them an the same size (to save band width and scaling on the client side). |
|
Feature request: be able to specify px by px size of the images we save ! |
|
I've committed smaller files. I had expected mpl to save at 72 dpi, and it seems to save at 100px so the images are slightly bigger. @tacaswell is that fine or should I make them smaller again? |

| # the correct registration between image and contours. |

There's an image?

@QuLogic Fixed. These "new" examples were done by copy pasting stuff, hence the cryptic comments. |
|
The new default in 100dpi! |
|
and I still would rather they be the correct size. |
|
I've fixed the size. |
I did not find any code to rebuild the frontpage static images. Here is some code more or less reproducing the front page images, with the new defaults.
Here is the frontpage new look:
The images are:
If those are fine, i'll commit them to update the website.
I believe long term we could select a few images generated from our gallery, and add them to the frontpage. They will then always be regenerated if the design changes. (We do this for sklearn's frontpage images, and it works nicely).
