dooble's Issues

Some ideas

So I've been playing around with dooble for a while, really nice work!

I have some ideas, but would like to discuss a bit -- don't want to put too much effort into things that you might not like...

• On MacOS the default matplotlib is interactive, I think it might be good to default to non-interactive backend.
• Actually, it might be good to use different backends for different image formats -- I think it would be nice, for example, to use .svg images for the html documentation and .eps images for latex.
• Can we set the minimum required matplotlib to version 3, since python2 is not supported by dooble anyway?
• If a large number of marble diagrams are being rendered, things get kind of slow. I think it would be nice to implement a sort of "batch" or "async" mode, using multiple threads and/or processes.

Curious what you think!

Operator description to restrictive

• dooble version: 0.6.0
• Python version: 3.7
• Operating System: OS X

Description

This is a really great project. Trying to use Dooble with F# and the regexp for the description of the operator do not allow chars like -, {and }. But it would be nice to also have e.g /, $, =, % to support other programming languages and their ways of writing lambda expressions.

What I Did

    .. marble::
        :alt: map

        ---1---2---3---4--->
        [ map (fun i -> i*2) ]
        ---2---4---6---8--->
