Thanks to all who contributed to this thread concerning how to draw
something such as text at an offset relative to a data point, with the
offset in screen coordinates so that it stays constant with zooming etc.
The result in svn is a new function in transforms:
def offset_copy(trans, fig=None, x=0, y=0, units='inches'):
'''
Return a shallow copy of a transform with an added offset.
args:
trans is any transform
kwargs:
fig is the current figure; it can be None if units are 'dots'
x, y give the offset
units is 'inches', 'points' or 'dots'
'''
This works for all transformations including polar; an example is given
in examples/transoffset.py, also in svn.
All transformations now have shallowcopy and deepcopy methods; the
shallowcopy method is used in offset_copy. The deepcopy methods were
there all along in _transforms.cpp, with functionality apparently partly
duplicated in the copy_bbox_transform function in transforms.py. John
added copy_bbox_transform_shallow to transforms.py as part of this
thread. I would like to remove it, together with copy_bbox_transform,
on the grounds that these functions probably have not been used by
anyone except during the last few days, and their functionality is
available in a much more general way via the Transformation deepcopy and
shallowcopy methods.
Any objections?
Thanks.
Eric
