RE: [pyngl-talk] new version of PyNGL

Great job...

It took about 3 min to install and make all the changes. Then I was back up
and running trying to solve old problems.

Thanks for the work.

Subject: new version of PyNGL

Dear PyNGL users,

We are happy to announce the release of PyNGL 0.0.1b1. There are two
big changes in this version.

The first is the removal of the "ngl_" prefix from the names of all of
the PyNGL plotting functions. This change was made due to feedback
from PyNGL testers on this email list who suggested that:

  import Ngl

was preferrable to:

  from Ngl import *

Moving to this method made us realize that "Ngl.ngl_xxxx" would be
redundant, and hence the "ngl_" prefix was removed.

The second change is that some default values for plot resources were
modified to help automate things for the user. For example, if the
user turns on contour fill, then he/she will automatically get a
labelbar on the plot.

All documentation and examples were updated to reflect these changes.
Here are some URLs that might be of interest:

As always, we appreciate all of your feedback, and are open for
continuing feedback and questions.

Cheers,

--Mary Haley and Fred Clare
