Indeed. Requests for advanced plotting will be taken into account in 12.8.

This brings me to another suggestion for future releases:
The present combination of ATK, Python and Matplotlib is really a nice thing.
However, it may be a good idea to keep up with the Matplolib versions from time to time.
I post this here, because

Code

import pylab
pylab.semilogy([1,2,3])
pylab.show()

throws an error. This is a known and meanwhile fixed bug in Matplotlib.

In the new version of ATK 12.2 matplotlib has been updated.

In general we try to be progressive when it comes to the packages we ship along and use internally, but sometimes we encounter problems with these, and we have to fill bugs reports to numpy etc, and it is not always that these get fixed on all the platforms we support before a release. Our aim is to have the latest stable version of all our packages as long as it runs on all the platforms we support.

Also note that you can at least try to update packages within ATK yourself, since "atkpython" works in every respect as a "real" normal Python interpreter. That is, "atkpython setup.py install" should normally work fine. This is of course at your own risk, but if something goes wrong you can always just reinstall ATK.
