Re: release?

I've been running MPL 0.90 rev3250 since April 18 on numerous computers
around here using the wxAgg backend using stock wx on both Ubuntu Edgy
and Ubuntu Feisty. A quick look into exactly what that means shows that
Edgy is using 2.6 by default and 2.8 is used by Feisty. Therefore, I
conclude that, if your changes were present in that revision, everything
seems to be working OK for both 2.6 and 2.8.

I just built and tested SVN trunk on OS-X 10.4.9 with:

python 2.4 with wxPython2.6.3

and

python 2.5 with wxPython2.8.4

Not extensive testing, but it seems to work fine. Thanks!

NOTE: I first installed it over the older one in python2.4 with 
wxPython2.6, and got a garbage image. Then I deleted the old one, and 
re-installed, and it worked fine. I suspect that I had an old 
accelerator with the old one, which doesn't work right with the new one. 
It wasn't over-written, as the accelerator isn't being built by default 
anymore.

keyword arguments in errorbar: why asymmetry between x and y?

Hi,

Why is the code for passing plot_kw only implemented for the vertical  
errorbars?

Here is a patch to make things symmetric if this is appropriate.  (It  
is what I expected...)

This would fix the old problem discussed in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/425

Michael.

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes.py

P.S. What is the appropriate way to submit these types of patches  
etc. for matplotlib?  Is there are trac system like for scipy/numpy  
or is it through the mailing list.

Re: release?

I have time to cut a release tomorrow.  Are there any outstanding
issues that I should wait on?

I just committed a change that raises a DeprecationWarning on use of
numarray or Numeric as the numerix backend -- we agreed on this back in
early April.

Excellent, thanks.  I will update the website "news flash" saying the
same.  Charlie, full speed ahead with 0.90.1 and 0.91 will be numpy
only.

Thanks!

ANN: matplotlib-0.90.1

http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/matplotlib/

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=82474

===============================================================
2007-06-02 Released 0.90.1 at revision 3352

2007-06-02 Display only meaningful labels when calling legend()
           without args. - NN

2007-06-02 Have errorbar follow the color cycle even if line is not plotted.
           Suppress plotting of errorbar caps for capsize=0. - NN

2007-06-02 Set markers to same alpha value as line. - NN

2007-06-02 Fix mathtext position in svg backend. - NN

2007-06-01 Deprecate Numeric and numarray for use as numerix. Props to
           Travis -- job well done. - ADS

2007-05-18 Added LaTeX unicode support. Enable with the
           'text.latex.unicode' rcParam. This requires the ucs and
           inputenc LaTeX packages. - ADS

2007-04-23 Fixed some problems with polar -- added general polygon
           clipping to clip the lines a nd grids to the polar axes.
           Added support for set_rmax to easily change the maximum
           radial grid.  Added support for polar legend - JDH

2007-04-16 Added Figure.autofmt_xdate to handle adjusting the bottom

numerix and numpy

Before we blow away the numerix internally, let's give this release a
few days to settle and do a point bug fix release if anything serious
comes out.  I plan on doing an announcement on python-list tomorrow,
which should trigger a larger than normal number of downloads, so
let's give it a couple of days to shake out before we pull numerix.

Of course we can always branch, but I'd be happy to keep it simple.

make loc="best" the default in legend?

Hi there,

the loc="best" mode seems to work fairly well now. Even if it may leave
room for further optimization, I would assume that it is the more
reasonable default than "upper right".

I believe, however, that such simple API-changes should not happen
one-by-one but that they should be collected and then be done all at
once at some point.

Greetings,
Norbert

Numeric and numarray extensions are not built

Hi,

I just turned off the building of the Numeric and numarray extensions in 
setup.py. (As is always good practice, you may have to delete your build 
and install directories to insure the old extensions are not kept in place.)

I didn't clean up any infrastructure at this point, but I presume we 
want to start using numpy internally rather than the numerix layer. If 
that's true, we're free now to make use of all that numpy offers rather 
than the lowest-common-denominator approach we had been following! Sweet!

Andrew
