Recently, I switched from matplotlib 0.99 to 1.0.1 and unfortunately discovered that my text scaling script stopped working properly. The script scales the given text to fit into the current figure.
A quick example of what I'm doing (works in 0.99, but not in 1.0.1 and 1.1.1rc): import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ion() fig = plt.figure(1, (6,8), dpi=72) fig.add_axes([0,0,1,1]) txt1 = plt.text(0.5,0.5,'foobar',horizontalalignment='center',verticalalignment='center') plt.draw() # compute width of figure in points and divide by txt1 bounding box width sf1 = 6*72./txt1.cached.items()[0][1][1][0][1][0] txt1.set_size(txt1.get_size()*sf1) plt.draw() The problem is related to the fact that starting from mpl 1.0.1, the txt1.cached dictionary contains information of all text objects present rather than only of the specific object. I guess this behavior is intended, however this way it is rather complicated to derive the bounding box of the specific text object without cycling over the whole dictionary. Is there a different way to achieve a fitted text object?
