With version 0.4.0, we finally get

and a lot more.

This release greatly benefits from updating the dependency elembic introducing features like conditional set rules likeshow: lq.cond-set(lq.grid.with(kind: "x"), stroke: yellow) and filtered show rules through lq.show_(lq.tick-label.with(sub: true), it => {..}).

Moreover, plenty of work on ticks has been done! It is now super easy to setup π-based axes (or any other constant), to give labels to subticks, manually add extra ticks and a lot more.

I was about to have to go down a rabbit hole of getting $pi$-scaled axes working on matplotlib, and now I don’t have to bother. Thank you for the amazing work.

At this point, all I could think of feature-wise is allowing for grids of plots of different types, with them potentially sharing a single legend.
