2012-06-05 Images loaded through PIL are now ordered correctly - CG

2012-06-02 Add new Axes method and pyplot function, hist2d. - PO

2012-05-29 pcolormesh now obeys the passed in "edgecolor" kwarg.

To support this, the "shading" argument to pcolormesh now only

takes "flat" or "gouraud". To achieve the old "faceted" behavior,

pass "edgecolors='k'". - MGD

2012-05-22 Added radius kwarg to pie charts. - HH

2012-05-22 Collections now have a setting "offset_position" to select whether

the offsets are given in "screen" coordinates (default,

following the old behavior) or "data" coordinates. This is currently

used internally to improve the performance of hexbin.

As a result, the "draw_path_collection" backend methods have grown

a new argument "offset_position". - MGD

2012-05-04 Add a new argument to pie charts - startingangle - that

allows one to specify the angle offset for the first wedge

of the chart. - EP

2012-05-03 symlog scale now obeys the logarithmic base. Previously, it was

completely ignored and always treated as base e. - MGD

2012-05-03 Allow linscalex/y keyword to symlog scale that allows the size of

the linear portion relative to the logarithmic portion to be

adjusted. - MGD

2012-04-06 When path clipping changes a LINETO to a MOVETO, it also

changes any CLOSEPOLY command to a LINETO to the initial

point. This fixes a problem with pdf and svg where the

CLOSEPOLY would then draw a line to the latest MOVETO

position instead of the intended initial position. - JKS

2012-03-27 Add support to ImageGrid for placing colorbars only at

one edge of each column/row. - RMM

2012-03-07 Refactor movie writing into useful classes that make use

of pipes to write image data to ffmpeg or mencoder. Also

improve settings for these and the ability to pass custom

options. - RMM

2012-02-29 errorevery keyword added to errorbar to enable errorbar

subsampling. fixes issue #600.

2012-02-28 Added plot_trisurf to the mplot3d toolkit. This supports plotting

three dimensional surfaces on an irregular grid. - Damon McDougall

2012-01-23 The radius labels in polar plots no longer use a fixed

padding, but use a different alignment depending on the

quadrant they are in. This fixes numerical problems when

(rmax - rmin) gets too small. - MGD

2012-01-08 Add axes.streamplot to plot streamlines of a velocity field.

Adapted from Tom Flannaghan streamplot implementation. -TSY

2011-12-29 ps and pdf markers are now stroked only if the line width

is nonzero for consistency with agg, fixes issue #621. - JKS

2011-12-27 Work around an EINTR bug in some versions of subprocess. - JKS

2011-10-25 added support for \operatorname to mathtext,

including the ability to insert spaces, such as

$\operatorname{arg\,max}$ - PI

2011-08-18 Change api of Axes.get_tightbbox and add an optional

keyword parameter *call_axes_locator*. - JJL

2011-07-29 A new rcParam "axes.formatter.use_locale" was added, that,

when True, will use the current locale to format tick

labels. This means that, for example, in the fr_FR locale,

',' will be used as a decimal separator. - MGD

2011-07-15 The set of markers available in the plot() and scatter()

commands has been unified. In general, this gives more

options to both than were previously available, however,

there is one backward-incompatible change to the markers in

scatter:

"d" used to mean "diamond", it now means "narrow

diamond". "D" can be used for a "diamond".

-MGD

2011-07-13 Fix numerical problems in symlog scale, particularly when

linthresh <= 1.0. Symlog plots may look different if one

was depending on the old broken behavior - MGD

2011-07-10 Fixed argument handling error in tripcolor/triplot/tricontour,

issue #203. - IMT

2011-07-08 Many functions added to mplot3d.axes3d to bring Axes3D

objects more feature-parity with regular Axes objects.

Significant revisions to the documentation as well.

2011-07-07 Added compatibility with IPython strategy for picking

a version of Qt4 support, and an rcParam for making

the choice explicitly: backend.qt4. - EF

2011-07-07 Modified AutoMinorLocator to improve automatic choice of

the number of minor intervals per major interval, and

to allow one to specify this number via a kwarg. - EF

2011-06-28 3D versions of scatter, plot, plot_wireframe, plot_surface,

bar3d, and some other functions now support empty inputs. - BVR

2011-05-31 Made backend_qt4 compatible with PySide . - Gerald Storer

2011-04-17 Disable keyboard auto-repeat in qt4 backend by ignoring

key events resulting from auto-repeat. This makes

constrained zoom/pan work. - EF

2011-04-14 interpolation="nearest" always interpolate images. A new

mode "none" is introduced for no interpolation - JJL

2011-04-03 Fixed broken pick interface to AsteriskCollection objects

used by scatter. - EF

2011-04-01 The plot directive Sphinx extension now supports all of the

features in the Numpy fork of that extension. These

include doctest formatting, an 'include-source' option, and

a number of new configuration options. - MGD

2011-03-29 Wrapped ViewVCCachedServer definition in a factory function.

This class now inherits from urllib2.HTTPSHandler in order

to fetch data from github, but HTTPSHandler is not defined

if python was built without SSL support. - DSD

2011-03-10 Update pytz version to 2011c, thanks to Simon Cross. - JKS

2011-03-06 Add standalone tests.py test runner script. - JKS

2011-03-06 Set edgecolor to 'face' for scatter asterisk-type

symbols; this fixes a bug in which these symbols were

not responding to the c kwarg. The symbols have no

face area, so only the edgecolor is visible. - EF

2011-02-27 Support libpng version 1.5.x; suggestion by Michael

Albert. Changed installation specification to a

minimum of libpng version 1.2. - EF

2011-02-20 clabel accepts a callable as an fmt kwarg; modified

patch by Daniel Hyams. - EF

operations and by using float32 for float32 inputs

and for ints of 2 bytes or shorter; based on

patch by Christoph Gohlke. - EF

2011-02-04 Changed imshow to use rgba as uint8 from start to

finish, instead of going through an intermediate

step as double precision; thanks to Christoph Gohlke. - EF

by PIL for JPEG files. - JKS

2010-09-15 Remove unused _wxagg extension and numerix.h. - EF

2010-08-25 Add new framework for doing animations with examples.- RM

2010-08-21 Remove unused and inappropriate methods from Tick classes:

set_view_interval, get_minpos, and get_data_interval are

properly found in the Axis class and don't need to be

duplicated in XTick and YTick. - EF

2010-08-21 Change Axis.set_view_interval() so that when updating an

existing interval, it respects the orientation of that

interval, and can enlarge but not reduce the interval.

This fixes a bug in which Axis.set_ticks would

change the view limits of an inverted axis. Whether

set_ticks should be affecting the viewLim at all remains

an open question. - EF

2010-08-16 Handle NaN's correctly in path analysis routines. Fixes a

bug where the best location for a legend was not calculated

correctly when the line contains NaNs. - MGD

2010-08-14 Fix bug in patch alpha handling, and in bar color kwarg - EF

2010-08-12 Removed all traces of numerix module after 17 months of

deprecation warnings. - EF

2010-08-05 Added keyword arguments 'thetaunits' and 'runits' for polar

plots. Fixed PolarAxes so that when it set default

Formatters, it marked them as such. Fixed semilogx and

semilogy to no longer blindly reset the ticker information

on the non-log axis. Axes.arrow can now accept unitized

data. - JRE

2010-08-03 Add support for MPLSETUPCFG variable for custom setup.cfg

filename. Used by sage buildbot to build an mpl w/ no gui

support - JDH

2010-08-01 Create directory specified by MPLCONFIGDIR if it does

not exist. - ADS

2010-07-20 Return Qt4's default cursor when leaving the canvas - DSD

2010-07-06 Tagging for mpl 1.0 at r8502

2010-07-05 Added Ben Root's patch to put 3D plots in arbitrary axes,

allowing you to mix 3d and 2d in different axes/subplots or

to have multiple 3D plots in one figure. See

examples/mplot3d/subplot3d_demo.py - JDH

2010-07-05 Preferred kwarg names in set_xlim are now 'left' and

'right'; in set_ylim, 'bottom' and 'top'; original

kwargs are still accepted without complaint. - EF

2010-07-05 TkAgg and FltkAgg backends are now consistent with other

interactive backends: when used in scripts from the

command line (not from ipython -pylab), show blocks,

and can be called more than once. - EF

2010-07-02 Modified CXX/WrapPython.h to fix "swab bug" on solaris so

mpl can compile on Solaris with CXX6 in the trunk. Closes

tracker bug 3022815 - JDH

2010-06-30 Added autoscale convenience method and corresponding

pyplot function for simplified control of autoscaling;

and changed axis, set_xlim, and set_ylim so that by

default, they turn off the autoscaling on the relevent

axis or axes. Therefore one can call set_xlim before

plotting a line, for example, and the limits will be

retained. - EF

2010-06-20 Added Axes.tick_params and corresponding pyplot function

to control tick and tick label appearance after an Axes

has been created. - EF

2010-06-09 Allow Axes.grid to control minor gridlines; allow

Axes.grid and Axis.grid to control major and minor

gridlines in the same method call. - EF

2010-06-06 Change the way we do split/dividend adjustments in

finance.py to handle dividends and fix the zero division bug reported

in sf bug 2949906 and 2123566. Note that volume is not adjusted

because the Yahoo CSV does not distinguish between share

split and dividend adjustments making it near impossible to

get volume adjustement right (unless we want to guess based

on the size of the adjustment or scrape the html tables,

which we don't) - JDH

2010-06-06 Updated dateutil to 1.5 and pytz to 2010h.

2010-06-02 Add error_kw kwarg to Axes.bar(). - EF

2010-06-01 Fix pcolormesh() and QuadMesh to pass on kwargs as

appropriate. - RM

2010-05-04 Improve backend_qt4 so it displays figures with the

correct size - DSD

2010-04-20 Added generic support for connecting to a timer for events. This

adds TimerBase, TimerGTK, TimerQT, TimerWx, and TimerTk to

the backends and a new_timer() method to each backend's

canvas to allow ease of creating a new timer. - RM

2010-04-20 Added margins() Axes method and pyplot function. - EF

2010-04-18 update the axes_grid documentation. -JJL

2010-04-18 Control MaxNLocator parameters after instantiation,

and via Axes.locator_params method, with corresponding

pyplot function. -EF

2010-04-18 Control ScalarFormatter offsets directly and via the

Axes.ticklabel_format() method, and add that to pyplot. -EF

2010-04-16 Add a close_event to the backends. -RM

2010-04-06 modify axes_grid examples to use axes_grid1 and axisartist. -JJL

2010-04-06 rebase axes_grid using axes_grid1 and axisartist modules. -JJL

2010-04-06 axes_grid toolkit is splitted into two separate modules,

axes_grid1 and axisartist. -JJL

2010-04-05 Speed up import: import pytz only if and when it is

needed. It is not needed if the rc timezone is UTC. - EF

2010-04-03 Added color kwarg to Axes.hist(), based on work by

Jeff Klukas. - EF

2010-03-24 refactor colorbar code so that no cla() is necessary when

2010-02-25 add annotation_demo3.py that demonstrates new functionality. -JJL

2010-02-25 refactor Annotation to support arbitrary Transform as xycoords

or textcoords. Also, if a tuple of two coordinates is provided,

they are interpreted as coordinates for each x and y position.

-JJL

2010-02-24 Added pyplot.fig_subplot(), to create a figure and a group of

subplots in a single call. This offers an easier pattern than

manually making figures and calling add_subplot() multiple times. FP

2010-02-17 Added Gokhan's and Mattias' customizable keybindings patch

for the toolbar. You can now set the keymap.* properties

in the matplotlibrc file. Newbindings were added for

left|right|bottom|top|full filled markers. See

examples/pylab_examples/filledmarker_demo.py. JDH

2010-02-11 Added 'bootstrap' option to boxplot. This allows bootstrap

estimates of median confidence intervals. Based on an

initial patch by Paul Hobson. - ADS

in setupext.py "basedir" dictionary; added "gnu0"

platform requested by Benjamin Drung. - EF

2010-02-06 Added 'xy' scaling option to EllipseCollection. - EF

2010-02-03 Made plot_directive use a custom PlotWarning category, so that

warnings can be turned into fatal errors easily if desired. - FP

2010-01-29 Added draggable method to Legend to allow mouse drag

placement. Thanks Adam Fraser. JDH

2010-01-25 Fixed a bug reported by Olle Engdegard, when using

histograms with stepfilled and log=True - MM

2010-01-16 Upgraded CXX to 6.1.1 - JDH

2009-01-16 Ensure three minor ticks always drawn (SF# 2924245). Patch

by Neil Crighton. -ADS

2010-01-16 Applied patch by Ian Thomas to fix two contouring

problems: now contourf handles interior masked regions,

and the boundaries of line and filled contours coincide. - EF

2009-01-11 The color of legend patch follows the rc parameters

axes.facecolor and axes.edgecolor. -JJL

2009-01-11 adjustable of Axes can be "box-forced" which allow

sharing axes. -JJL

2009-12-20 spines: put spines in data coordinates, add set_bounds()

call. -ADS

2009-12-18 Don't limit notch size in boxplot to q1-q3 range, as this

is effectively making the data look better than it is. - ADS

2009-12-18 mlab.prctile handles even-length data, such that the median

is the mean of the two middle values. - ADS

2009-12-15 Add raw-image (unsampled) support for the ps backend. - JJL

the qt4 backend - DSD

2009-11-13 The pdf backend now allows changing the contents of

a pdf file's information dictionary via PdfPages.infodict. - JKS

2009-11-12 font_manager.py should no longer cause EINTR on Python 2.6

(but will on the 2.5 version of subprocess). Also the

fc-list command in that file was fixed so now it should

actually find the list of fontconfig fonts. - JKS

2009-11-10 Single images, and all images in renderers with

option_image_nocomposite (i.e. agg, macosx and the svg

backend when rcParams['svg.image_noscale'] is True), are

now drawn respecting the zorder relative to other

artists. (Note that there may now be inconsistencies across

backends when more than one image is drawn at varying

zorders, but this change introduces correct behavior for

the backends in which it's easy to do so.)

2009-10-21 Make AutoDateLocator more configurable by adding options

to control the maximum and minimum number of ticks. Also

add control of the intervals to be used for ticking. This

does not change behavior but opens previously hard-coded

behavior to runtime modification`. - RMM

2009-10-19 Add "path_effects" support for Text and Patch. See

examples/pylab_examples/patheffect_demo.py -JJL

2009-10-19 Add "use_clabeltext" option to clabel. If True, clabels

will be created with ClabelText class, which recalculates

rotation angle of the label during the drawing time. -JJL

2009-10-16 Make AutoDateFormatter actually use any specified

timezone setting.This was only working correctly

when no timezone was specified. - RMM

2009-09-27 Beginnings of a capability to test the pdf backend. - JKS

demo_annotation_box.py. -JJL

2009-08-07 BboxImage implemented. Two examples, demo_bboximage.py and

demo_ribbon_box.py added. - JJL

2009-08-07 In an effort to simplify the backend API, all clipping rectangles

and paths are now passed in using GraphicsContext objects, even

on collections and images. Therefore:

draw_path_collection(self, master_transform, cliprect, clippath,

clippath_trans, paths, all_transforms, offsets,

offsetTrans, facecolors, edgecolors, linewidths,

linestyles, antialiaseds, urls)
