Hi all: It looks like one can no longer plot an array of RGBA values in imshow - I suspect this is a consequence of the recent changes to the way colors are handled. For example
from pylab import * # make a random rgba matrix rgba = ones((64,64,4),'f') for k in range(3): rgba[:,:,k] = rand(64,64).astype('f') imshow(rgba) show() works in 0.87.2, but fails with Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py", line 283, in expose_event self._render_figure(self._pixmap, w, h) File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtkagg.py", line 72, in _render_figure FigureCanvasAgg.draw(self) File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py", line 389, in draw self.figure.draw(renderer) File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/figure.py", line 531, in draw for a in self.axes: a.draw(renderer) File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/axes.py", line 991, in draw im.draw(renderer) File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/image.py", line 184, in draw im = self.make_image() File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/image.py", line 130, in make_image im.is_grayscale = (self.cmap.is_gray() and File "/Users/jsw/lib/python/matplotlib/colors.py", line 634, in is_gray return (alltrue(self._lut[:,0] == self._lut[:,1]) with the latest svn.
