In response to a question on matplotlib-users, I added some additional
documentation for the linestyles and markers in the matplotlib.lines API
docs. Specifically, I added a rest table mapping the linestyle/marker to
the meaning of the marker. Strangely, the set_linestyle table renders fine
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#matplotlib.lines.Line2D.set_linestyle
but the table in set_marker is absent
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#matplotlib.lines.Line2D.set_marker
I've tried cleanly building and installing mpl in my src tree, running
svn-clean to make sure no cruft is impacting me, but I have not succeeeded
in getting the marker table to render. Perhaps a fresh set of eyeballs can
spot the problem. I'm pasting the docstrings below::
def set_linestyle(self, linestyle):
"""
Set the linestyle of the line (also accepts
drawstyles)
================
=================
linestyle
description
================
=================
'-'
solid
'--'
dashed
'-.'
dash_dot
':'
dotted
'None' draw
nothing
' ' draw
nothing
'' draw
nothing
================ =================
..
seealso::
:meth:`set_drawstyle`
ACCEPTS: [ '-' | '--' | '-.' | ':' | 'None' | ' ' | '' ]
and
any drawstyle in combination with a linestyle, e.g.
'steps--'.
"""
And here is set_marker docstring::
def set_marker(self, marker):
"""
