2010-01-03 Added Pierre's qt4 formlayout editor and toolbar button - JDH

2009-12-31 Add support for using math text as marker symbols (Thanks to tcb)

- MGD

2009-12-31 Commit a workaround for a regression in PyQt4-4.6.{0,1} - DSD

2009-12-22 Fix cmap data for gist_earth_r, etc. -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

2009-12-14 Add patch_artist kwarg to boxplot, but keep old default.

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

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)

becomes:

draw_path_collection(self, gc, master_transform, paths, all_transforms,

offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, edgecolors,

linewidths, linestyles, antialiaseds, urls)

draw_quad_mesh(self, master_transform, cliprect, clippath,

clippath_trans, meshWidth, meshHeight, coordinates,

offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, antialiased,

showedges)

becomes:

draw_quad_mesh(self, gc, master_transform, meshWidth, meshHeight,

coordinates, offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors,

antialiased, showedges)

draw_image(self, x, y, im, bbox, clippath=None, clippath_trans=None)

becomes:

draw_image(self, gc, x, y, im)

=================================================================

2008-12-09 Released 0.98.4 at svn r6536

2008-12-08 Added mdehoon's native macosx backend from sf patch 2179017 - JDH

2008-12-08 Removed the prints in the set_*style commands. Return the

list of pprinted strings instead - JDH

2008-12-08 Some of the changes Michael made to improve the output of

the property tables in the rest docs broke of made

difficult to use some of the interactive doc helpers, eg

setp and getp. Having all the rest markup in the ipython

shell also confused the docstrings. I added a new rc param

docstring.harcopy, to format the docstrings differently for

hardcopy and other use. Ther ArtistInspector could use a

little refactoring now since there is duplication of effort

between the rest out put and the non-rest output - JDH

2008-12-08 Updated spectral methods (psd, csd, etc.) to scale one-sided

densities by a factor of 2 and, optionally, scale all densities

by the sampling frequency. This gives better MatLab

compatibility. -RM

set too short when numpoints=1 -JJL

2008-12-04 Added support for data with units (e.g. dates) to

Axes.fill_between. -RM

2008-12-04 Added fancybox keyword to legend. Also applied some changes

for better look, including baseline adjustment of the

multiline texts so that it is center aligned. -JJL

2008-12-02 The transmuter classes in the patches.py are reorganized as

subclasses of the Style classes. A few more box and arrow

styles are added. -JJL

2008-12-02 Fixed a bug in the new legend class that didn't allowed

a tuple of coordinate vlaues as loc. -JJL

2008-12-02 Improve checks for external dependencies, using subprocess

(instead of deprecated popen*) and distutils (for version

checking) - DSD

and Axes/pyplot method fill_between. See

examples/pylab/fill_between.py - JDH

2008-11-12 Add x_isdata and y_isdata attributes to Artist instances,

and use them to determine whether either or both

coordinates are used when updating dataLim. This is

used to fix autoscaling problems that had been triggered

by axhline, axhspan, axvline, axvspan. - EF

2008-11-11 Update the psd(), csd(), cohere(), and specgram() methods

of Axes and the csd() cohere(), and specgram() functions

in mlab to be in sync with the changes to psd().

In fact, under the hood, these all call the same core

to do computations. - RM

2008-11-11 Add 'pad_to' and 'sides' parameters to mlab.psd() to

allow controlling of zero padding and returning of

negative frequency components, respecitively. These are

added in a way that does not change the API. - RM

2008-11-10 Fix handling of c kwarg by scatter; generalize

is_string_like to accept numpy and numpy.ma string

array scalars. - RM and EF

2008-10-05 Fix problem with AFM files that don't specify the font's

full name or family name. - JKS

2008-10-04 Added 'scilimits' kwarg to Axes.ticklabel_format() method,

for easy access to the set_powerlimits method of the

major ScalarFormatter. - EF

2008-10-04 Experimental new kwarg borderpad to replace pad in legend,

based on suggestion by Jae-Joon Lee. - EF

2008-09-27 Allow spy to ignore zero values in sparse arrays, based

on patch by Tony Yu. Also fixed plot to handle empty

data arrays, and fixed handling of markers in figlegend. - EF

2008-09-24 Introduce drawstyles for lines. Transparently split linestyles

like 'steps--' into drawstyle 'steps' and linestyle '--'.

Legends always use drawstyle 'default'. - MM

with keyboard in ginput and manual contour labeling code.

Finally, fixed contour labeling bug. - DMK

2008-09-11 Fix backtick in Postscript output. - MGD

2008-09-10 [ 2089958 ] Path simplification for vector output backends

Leverage the simplification code exposed through

the vector backends (PDF, PS and SVG). "path.simplify"

must be set to True in matplotlibrc for this to work. -

MGD

2008-09-10 Add "filled" kwarg to Path.intersects_path and

Path.intersects_bbox. - MGD

2008-09-07 Changed full arrows slightly to avoid an xpdf rendering

2008-08-11 Fix more bugs in NaN/inf handling. In particular, path simplification

(which does not handle NaNs or infs) will be turned off automatically

when infs or NaNs are present. Also masked arrays are now converted

to arrays with NaNs for consistent handling of masks and NaNs
