{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"[minor] sizes as area in square points","articleBody":"The docstring for various `sizes` arguments states that size is given as symbol area in square points. Checking with `matplotlib.Collections` code, this argument doesn't actually calculate the symbol area, but instead is a squared scale factor. This might lead to a wrong interpretation especially if irregularly-shaped symbols are used, but it also not correct for circles. On a more general basis, is it not easier to use linear scale factor as an argument, instead of its square? I just don't see applications where the latter is more useful than the former.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/akhmerov","@type":"Person","name":"akhmerov"},"datePublished":"2012-08-17T14:18:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/1099/matplotlib/issues/1099"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
