[matplotlib-devel] porting an app to newer version of matplotlib

2011-08-10 Thread Viktor Nagy 
Hi,

I would like to port the faces project management app [1] to current
matplotlib. Actually, I'm not the maintainer of faces, and I'm new to
matplotlib. But I'll read as much as necessary.

First, I've tried to install faces v0.11.7, but it fails with a matplotlib
import:

import matplotlib.transforms as _mtrans
import matplotlib.patches as _patches
import matplotlib.numerix as _numerix
import matplotlib.font_manager as _font

and later

_minus = _mtrans.Value(-1)
_value_type = type(_minus)

finally

actually, it fails at the first line.

I've searched the docs, but could not find anything before v0.98, while the
faces website says that v0.85 is required.

Could someone point me to some documentation, or provide me guidelines on
porting faces to recent matplotlib versions?

thx

What is likely to be causing the bigger issue is not incompatibility with
matplotlib (although I hope faces has some sort of test suite to make sure
the behavior is still as intended).  The bigger problem is porting faces to
use numpy instead of numerix.  I would try researching that problem first.

There is some documentation about the change from 0.98 to 0.99 here:
