Add more markers #1500

Open magnunor opened 7 years ago

magnunor commented 7 years ago

Having implemented permanent markers, having more types of markers would be nice:

Arrows
Ellipses
Scalebar: could use the matplotlib sizebar http://matplotlib.org/devdocs/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid1/api/anchored_artists_api.html#mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.anchored_artists.AnchoredSizeBar
Patches (http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/patch_collection.html)
Collections: for example a PointCollection, which would avoid clutter and improve plotting performance when adding a large amount of points

again reinventing the wheel... all those things are present in pyqtgraph...

Yes, but currently we're using matplotlib. They're obviously also implemented in matplotlib, but HyperSpy ones are multidimensional and can be stored in our hdf5 specification, so I am not sure if this is about reinventing the wheel...
