[Matplotlib-users] Capitalization of Matplotlib

[Benjamin Root]

I am in the final rounds of edits for my book and a question has come up
between me and the editors. When should the matplotlib be capitalized?

1) never
2) mostly never (even in the beginning of a sentence), except when used in
a title
3) usually never, except at the beginning of a sentence and in titles
4) capitalize when referring to the project, not capitalized when referring
to the package
5) usually capitalize like a proper noun except in code examples

Thoughts?

IMO, never.

Ah, since it is a proper name it should be capitalised, but it never was.
I think that it should remain uncapitalised and that you want to propose an
alternative, like a change in type for the proper name matplotlib. Could be
typescript, or something else.

Hi,

Ah, since it is a proper name it should be capitalised, but it never was. I
think that it should remain uncapitalised and that you want to propose an
alternative, like a change in type for the proper name matplotlib. Could be
typescript, or something else.

I'm guessing the type-setters would object to always using typewriter
(or other special) font for matplotlib, as it would quickly get tiring
on the eye.

Cheers,

Matthew
