Hi all,

I am wondering why ProjectionPlot (and others) do not take all the keyword arguments and pass them to PWViewerMPL and PlotWindow. For example, currently there is no way to set buff_size at the creation of a plot. One has to call .set_buff_size after the plot was created.

I am thinking about leaving only the arguments specific to ProjectionPlot explicitly, and use **kwargs to pass all other arguments to PlotWindow. But if there are reasons not to do this, please let me know.

This is on purpose, to reduce the API complexity. ProjectionPlot already has a huge number of keyword arguments, adding more will only make it harder to discover functionality.

I'd be much more interested in figuring out ways to make the setters more intuitive - possibly by exposing plot attributes as descriptors?

 

Thanks!
