Hi Nils. I think I fixed the issue causing the traceback with r6563. Can you please update and try again with text.usetex enabled? My guess is that you don't have dvipng installed, which was causing the detection check to throw a traceback rather than return a value signifying undetected. So, enab

This is mostly for Andrew Straw, but thought anyone else experimenting with git may be interested. I'm going through some real newbie pains here, and I don't think what I'm doing is all that advanced. So, I've had a local git repository cloned from github (as per Andrew's instructions), made a

John, One thing that would help w/ a rapid delivery/response cycle would be more comprehensive tests.They would let other developers try out various ideas and see what breaks before you release it. We’ve implemented an automated approach where we run an MPL script using Agg, save the output

2008-12-11 Thread Andrew Straw
Hi Michael, The main issue is that we can't use git "normally" because the main history will be kept with svn. Thus, there's going to be a lot of history rewriting going on through the rebase command. (These complications are obviously not the ideal scenario for git newbies...) Rather than answer

I have also developed some image-based unit tests to compare MPL output, and I completely agree that getting something like this into MPL is a very good idea. As Ted writes, the hard part is defining "close" for images. Minor changes to, for example, agg pixel alignment, cause the tests to fail whe

[matplotlib-devel] Loss of filled vs. stroked distinction by Collections

I think of artists as having visual properties that persist (e.g., filled vs. outlined, a colormap with min and max values) even as data associated with the artist is changed. In the edge case described below, this doesn't seem to hold true. I have code that animates a scatter plot by sub-selectin
