The WXAgg backend itself should still function without _wxagg.so, which exists slowly to speed up the Agg/wx.Image/wx.Bitmap tango.

A while back there was some talk on the dev list about a pure python blitting method. I believe 2.8 had features that made this possible. I don't think anyone actually implemented this though. I'll have to check if the current native wx code even compiles with 2.8.

We stuck with unicode for 0.87 to avoid confusion. I would be happy to hear what wx users think/want. I think it's time to just all unicode, all the way, but I mostly deal with English anyway. For me the ideal would be not to be depended on a particular release of wxPython - big surprise no :-) That would be nice. If I understand it correctly the dependency came in for performance optimization, does 2.8 change something for this. Perhaps. 2.8 has methods for directly setting the data in wxBitmaps. Before that, you needed to create a wxImage, then convert that to a bitmap. However, to do that right, you'd need to be able to get the Agg bitmap as a Python buffer object that is in the binary form required by the platform. I think the majors need RGB and/or RGBA, but I'm not totally sure about that (maybe OS-X is ARGB?) - If yes, I would not see a problem with 0.9 requiring as a minimum 2.8.0.1 but going forward I could use any 2.8.x or newer release. That would be a good way to go, or have fallback on the older methods for less than 2.8 -- so instead of saying you need 2.8 to use the wx backend we can say: you'll get better performance with wx if you use 2.8 - If no, then I guess we have to live with having a fixed dependency, e.g. 0.87 is wxPython 2.6.x, 0.90 is wxPython 2.8.x, but it should through at least a warning if one tries to use it with another wxPython release. Yes, it should. I've also started a patch for the build system that tries harder to make sure that you are building against the same wx that you are running -- that will at least help people built it themselves more easily. NOTE: I took a look at the wx backend code a while ago, and it looks like even without the new Bitmap handlers in 2.8, it could be faster with straight Python code. Key is that a wxImage can be created from a Python buffer object without copying the data. So if we can expose the Agg buffer as a Python buffer, as RGB, then we should be able to get decent performance with pure python. You'd still need to do the wxBitmapFromImage thing, but the accelerated back-end does that too.

http://www.python.org/pypi/matplotlib/0.90.0 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706package_id=82474release_id=484485 Binaries will be posted in a few days. === 2007-02-06 Released 0.90.0 at revision 3003 2007-01-22 Extended the new picker API to text, patches and patch collections. Added support for user customizable pick hit testing and attribute tagging of the PickEvent - Details and examples in examples/pick_event_demo.py - JDH 2007-01-16 Begun work on a new pick API using the mpl event handling frameowrk. Artists will define their own pick method with a configurable epsilon tolerance and return pick attrs. All artists that meet the tolerance threshold will fire a PickEvent with artist dependent attrs; eg, a Line2D can set the indices attribute that shows the indices into the line that are within epsilon of the pick point. See examples/pick_event_demo.py. The implementation of pick for the remaining Artists remains to be done, but the core infrastructure at the level of event handling is in place with a proof-of-concept implementation for Line2D - JDH 2007-01-16 src/_image.cpp: update to use Py_ssize_t (for 64-bit systems). Use return value of fread() to prevent warning messages - SC. 2007-01-15 src/_image.cpp: combine buffer_argb32() and buffer_bgra32() into a new method color_conv(format) - SC 2007-01-14 backend_cairo.py: update draw_arc() so that examples/arctest.py looks correct - SC 2007-01-12 backend_cairo.py: enable clipping. Update draw_image() so that examples/contour_demo.py looks correct - SC 2007-01-12 backend_cairo.py: fix draw_image() so that examples/image_demo.py now looks correct - SC 2007-01-11 Added Axes.xcorr and Axes.acorr to plot the cross correlation of x vs y or the autocorrelation of x. pylab wrappers also provided. See examples/xcorr_demo.py - JDH 2007-01-10 Added Subplot.label_outer method. It will set the visibility of the ticklabels so that yticklabels are only visible in the first column and xticklabels are only visible in the last row - JDH 2007-01-02 Added additional kwarg documentation - JDH 2006-12-28 Improved error message for nonpositive input to log transform; added log kwarg to bar, barh, and hist, and modified bar method to behave sensibly by default when the ordinate has a log scale. (This only works if the log scale is set before or by the call to bar, hence the utility of the log kwarg.) - EF 2006-12-27 backend_cairo.py: update draw_image() and _draw_mathtext() to work with numpy - SC 2006-12-20 Fixed xpdf dependency check, which was failing on windows. Removed ps2eps dependency check. - DSD 2006-12-19 Added Tim Leslie's spectral patch - JDH 2006-12-17 Added rc param 'axes.formatter.limits' to control the default threshold for switching to scientific notation. Added convenience method Axes.ticklabel_format() for turning scientific notation on or off on either or both axes. - EF 2006-12-16 Added ability to turn control scientific notation in ScalarFormatter - EF 2006-12-16 Enhanced boxplot to handle more flexible inputs - EF 2006-12-13 Replaced calls to where() in colors.py with much faster clip() and putmask() calls; removed inappropriate uses of getmaskorNone (which should be needed only very rarely); all in response to profiling by David Cournapeau. Also fixed bugs in my 2-D array support from 12-09. - EF 2006-12-09 Replaced spy and spy2 with the new spy that combines marker and image capabilities - EF 2006-12-09 Added support for plotting 2-D arrays with plot: columns are plotted as in Matlab - EF 2006-12-09 Added linewidth kwarg to bar and barh; fixed arg checking bugs - EF 2006-12-07 Made pcolormesh argument handling match pcolor; fixed kwarg handling problem noted by Pierre GM - EF 2006-12-06 Made pcolor support vector X and/or Y instead of requiring 2-D arrays - EF 2006-12-05 Made the default Artist._transform None (rather than invoking identity_transform for each artist only to have it overridden later). Use artist.get_transform() rather than artist._transform, even in derived classes, so that the default transform will be created lazily as needed - JDH 2006-12-03 Added LogNorm to colors.py as illustrated by examples/pcolor_log.py, based on suggestion by Jim McDonald. Colorbar modified to handle LogNorm. Norms have additional inverse method. - EF 2006-12-02 Changed class
