> SphericalCircle gets around this by drawing a true spherical circle defined as a polygon so that there is no opportunity for Matplotlib to mess it up. So the proper...

> No, to_pixel(mode='full') does that conversion to polygons, no need for a new method: #91 (and that implements the code from SphericalCircle) I don't think that's good API. Polygonisation should...

> I guess I'm just saying I don't want users to have to do reg.as_poly().to_pixel(). OK. But as a dev I want it available as two steps, to have code...

Should we schedule a Google hangout tomorrow or next week to discuss this, and generally status / next steps for `astropy.regions`?

@astropy/regions-developers - Let's do a Google hangout early next week to discuss Astropy regions (specifically sky region plotting / connection to wcsaxes, and if we're ready to release 0.2 or...

I've pair-coded and discussed an example with @adonath : http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/cdeil/1df42de70326d577e7964be15b2a7396 This resolves the point from @adonath earlier: > But still I don't see where the matplotlib behaviour would be incorrect....

We will have the Astropy regions hangout next week Tue 12/6/16 3:00 PM CEST. @astrofrog - Should I "book" a room or should we just connect ad-hoc? I've had technical...

I agree 100% that getting functionality is the most important thing, and it's OK to use `shapely` and `sphere` to implement methods. So am I understanding correctly that `shapely` will...

The disscussion for shapely is resolved in #209 . I'll keep this issue open for now, since we still don't have spherical polygons, so the discussion on whether to use...

I'd like to come back to this question of how to implement [regions.PolygonSkyRegion](https://astropy-regions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/regions/shapes/polygon.html#PolygonSkyRegion). The most important operation is "contains", i.e. we need a "point in spherical polygon" method. I'm starting...
