2002-12-10 - Added a TODO file and CHANGELOG. Lots to do -- get

crackin'!

- Fixed y zoom tool bug

- Adopted a compromise fix for the y data clipping problem.

The problem was that for solid lines, the y data clipping

(as opposed to the gc clipping) caused artifactual

horizontal solid lines near the ylim boundaries. I did a

5% offset hack in Axes set_ylim functions which helped,

but didn't cure the problem for very high gain y zooms.

So I disabled y data clipping for connected lines . If

you need extensive y clipping, either plot(y,x) because x

data clipping is always enabled, or change the _set_clip

code to 'if 1' as indicated in the lines.py src. See

_set_clip in lines.py and set_ylim in figure.py for more

information.

2002-12-11 - Added a measurement dialog to the figure window to

measure axes position and the delta x delta y with a left

mouse drag. These defaults can be overridden by deriving

from Figure and overrriding button_press_event,

button_release_event, and motion_notify_event,

and _dialog_measure_tool.

- fixed the navigation dialog so you can check the axes the

navigation buttons apply to.

2003-04-23 Released matplotlib v0.1

2003-04-24 Added a new line style PixelLine2D which is the plots the

markers as pixels (as small as possible) with format

symbol ','

Added a new class Patch with derived classes Rectangle,

RegularPolygon and Circle

2003-04-25 Implemented new functions errorbar, scatter and hist

Added a new line type '|' which is a vline. syntax is

plot(x, Y, '|') where y.shape = len(x),2 and each row gives

the ymin,ymax for the respective values of x. Previously I

had implemented vlines as a list of lines, but I needed the

efficientcy of the numeric clipping for large numbers of

vlines outside the viewport, so I wrote a dedicated class

Vline2D which derives from Line2D

2003-05-01

Fixed ytick bug where grid and tick show outside axis viewport with gc clip

2003-05-14

Added new ways to specify colors 1) matlab format string 2)

html-style hex string, 3) rgb tuple. See examples/color_demo.py

2003-05-28

Changed figure rendering to draw form a pixmap to reduce flicker.

See examples/system_monitor.py for an example where the plot is

continusouly updated w/o flicker. This example is meant to

simulate a system monitor that shows free CPU, RAM, etc...

2003-08-04

Added Jon Anderson's GTK shell, which doesn't require pygtk to

have threading built-in and looks nice!

2003-08-25

Fixed deprecation warnings for python2.3 and pygtk-1.99.18

2003-08-26

Added figure text with new example examples/figtext.py

2003-08-27

Fixed bugs i figure text with font override dictionairies and fig

text that was placed outside the window bounding box

2003-09-1 thru 2003-09-15

Added a postscript and a GD module backend

2003-09-16

Fixed font scaling and point scaling so circles, squares, etc on

lines will scale with DPI as will fonts. Font scaling is not fully

implemented on the gtk backend because I have not figured out how

to scale fonts to arbitrary sizes with GTK

2003-09-17

Fixed figure text bug which crashed X windows on long figure text

extending beyond display area. This was, I believe, due to the

vestigial erase functionality that was no longer needed since I

began rendering to a pixmap

2003-09-30 Added legend

2003-10-01 Fixed bug when colors are specified with rgb tuple or hex

string.

2003-10-21 Andrew Straw provided some legend code which I modified

and incorporated. Thanks Andrew!

2003-10-27 Fixed a bug in axis.get_view_distance that affected zoom in

versus out with interactive scrolling, and a bug in the axis text

reset system that prevented the text from being redrawn on a

interactive gtk view lim set with the widget

Fixed a bug in that prevented the manual setting of ticklabel

strings from working properly

2003-11-02 - Do a nearest neighbor color pick on GD when

allocate fails

2003-11-02

- Added pcolor plot

- Added MRI example

- Fixed bug that screwed up label position if xticks or yticks were

empty

- added nearest neighbor color picker when GD max colors exceeded

- fixed figure background color bug in GD backend

2003-11-10 - 2003-11-11

- major refactoring.

* Ticks (with labels, lines and grid) handled by dedicated class

* Artist now know bounding box and dpi

* Bounding boxes and transforms handled by dedicated classes

* legend in dedicated class. Does a better job of alignment and

bordering. Can be initialized with specific line instances.

See examples/legend_demo2.py

2003-11-14 Fixed legend positioning bug and added new position args

2003-11-16 Finsihed porting GD to new axes API

2003-11-20 - add TM for matlab on website and in docs

2003-11-20 - make a nice errorbar and scatter screenshot

2003-11-20 - auto line style cycling for multiple line types

broken

2003-11-18 (using inkrect) :logical rect too big on gtk backend

2003-11-18 ticks don't reach edge of axes in gtk mode --

rounding error?

2003-11-20 - port Gary's errorbar code to new API before 0.40

2003-11-20 - problem with stale _set_font. legend axes box

doesn't resize on save in GTK backend -- see htdocs legend_demo.py

2003-11-21 - make a dash-dot dict for the GC

2003-12-15 - fix install path bug
