If you are a committer, feel free to edit the list below to either add items or mark them as done.\r\n\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/devdocs/examples/api/histogram_path_demo.html: Came in in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/cd88e290401a0c568b0c13ea56692c03fb09e29d, technique seems quite low-level, corresponding animation example was removed three years ago in https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2779.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo.html\r\nhttp://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo_features.html slightly misleading, xref #5827.  Done in #8154, but still misleading IMO.\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/sankey_demo_old.html: remove (we have builtin support for such diagrams now).  Done in #7972.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_features.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_masking.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/images_contours_and_fields/streamplot_demo_start_points.html: should be merged in a single example. #8336\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/equal_aspect_ratio.html: relies on `plt.axes()` to return the already existing implicit axes, which is not really documented directly; should use `plt.gca()` instead (given that it's a pylab example).\r\n- [x] #7878 modified examples/pylab_examples/vline_hline_demo.py to use `blended_transform_factory`, but that's really overkill: see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/7878#issuecomment-273948869.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/newscalarformatter_demo.html: drop OldScalarFormatter (which should probably be deprecated anyways...) and use one formatter per subplot.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/misc/sample_data_demo.html: remove, users should probably not rely on sample data.  Done in #7972.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/spectrum_demo.html: add tight_layout() call. Done in #8158.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/accented_text.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/text_labels_and_annotations/unicode_demo.html: remove #8065 \r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/matshow.html: only keep middle plot Done in #8094\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/manual_axis.html: remove (deprecated)  Done in #7972.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/text_handles.html: remove; it refers to an apparently non-existing `text_themes` examples which may be worth restoring (perhaps)  Done in #7972.\r\n- [x] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/toggle_images.html: remove or move to event handling section.  Done in #7972.\r\n- [X] http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo_features.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/fill_demo.html: merge. Done in #8154.\r\n- [X] http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_demo.html http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html: merge.  Done in #8199.\r\n\r\nattn @NelleV ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2017-01-26T20:36:48.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/7956/matplotlib/issues/7956"}
