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.

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.

plt.axes()to return the already existing implicit axes, which is not really documented directly; should useplt.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.

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 commentedon 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 commentedon 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 commentedon 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 commentedon Apr 28, 2017
Oh yeah. Just forked the code from github. Thanks!

Hi, I am a beginner here. May I solve the following issue?

@darrenzhang2000 go for it!

The
fill_demowas 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 changedfill.pyaccordingly.devarshigoswami commentedon Apr 1, 2020
If this issue still persists, can I be assigned to it??
story645 commentedon May 21, 2020
Closing since all the tasks appear to be completed.
