Changing that is probably easy enough, but how should the overall code
path look?
I was planning to switch backends in matplotlib.test after it runs the
Agg tests, so that the same test cases could be used to produce pdf
files (that's why they save files without extensions, right?) but this
seems to be impossible. The matplotlib.use function is a no-op if
matplotlib.backends has been imported, regardless of the warn argument.
For example, the following code produces two png files:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
from matplotlib import pyplot
pyplot.plot([3,1,4,1])
pyplot.savefig('foo1')
pyplot.switch_backend('pdf')
pyplot.plot([5,9,2,6])
pyplot.savefig('foo2')
If you interchange the 'agg' and 'pdf' strings, you get two pdf files.
It looks like the following change to matplotlib/__init__.py would fix
this, but I'm a little doubtful since maybe there was a good reason to
make it like it is:
--- __init__.py (revision 7815)
+++ __init__.py (working copy)
