Maybe 15 degrees, should play with it. 10 probably not good because it excludes the 45 deg angle.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/scottshambaugh","@type":"Person","name":"scottshambaugh"},"datePublished":"2026-02-05T21:12:51.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/31093/matplotlib/issues/31093"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
