No, because you can comment out that part of the code and still get a problem with the "Higher Order" label. The problem is that the text placement for the "Higher Order" text label is being calculated with reference to the descent of "g" rather than its baseline (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface#Font_metrics). I'm looking into it, I think it can be improved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
