exception - DSD

2005-07-07 Added Eric's MA set_xdata Line2D fix - JDH

2005-07-06 Made HOME/.matplotlib the new config dir where the

matplotlibrc file, the ttf.cache, and the tex.cache live.

The new default filenames in .matplotlib have no leading

dot and are not hidden. Eg, the new names are matplotlibrc

tex.cache ttffont.cache. This is how ipython does it so it

must be right. If old files are found, a warning is issued

and they are moved to the new location. Also fixed

texmanager to put all files, including temp files in

~/.matplotlib/tex.cache, which allows you to usetex in

non-writable dirs.

2005-07-05 Fixed bug #1231611 in subplots adjust layout. The problem

was that the text cacheing mechanism was not using the

transformation affine in the key. - JDH

2005-07-05 Fixed default backend import problem when using API (SF bug

# 1209354 - see API_CHANGES for more info - JDH

2005-07-04 backend_gtk.py: require PyGTK version 2.0.0 or higher - SC

2005-06-30 setupext.py: added numarray_inc_dirs for building against

numarray when not installed in standard location - ADS

2005-06-27 backend_svg.py: write figure width, height as int, not float.

Update to fix some of the pychecker warnings - SC

wrong directory - SC

2005-06-19 Added 10.4 support for CocoaAgg. - CM

2005-06-18 Move Figure.get_width_height() to FigureCanvasBase and return

int instead of float. - SC

2005-06-18 Applied Ted Drain's QtAgg patch: 1) Changed the toolbar to

be a horizontal bar of push buttons instead of a QToolbar

and updated the layout algorithms in the main window

accordingly. This eliminates the ability to drag and drop

the toolbar and detach it from the window. 2) Updated the

resize algorithm in the main window to show the correct

size for the plot widget as requested. This works almost

correctly right now. It looks to me like the final size of

the widget is off by the border of the main window but I

haven't figured out a way to get that information yet. We

could just add a small margin to the new size but that

seems a little hacky. 3) Changed the x/y location label to

be in the toolbar like the Tk backend instead of as a

status line at the bottom of the widget. 4) Changed the

toolbar pixmaps to use the ppm files instead of the png

files. I noticed that the Tk backend buttons looked much

nicer and it uses the ppm files so I switched them.

2005-06-17 Modified the gtk backend to not queue mouse motion events.

This allows for live updates when dragging a slider. - CM

2005-06-17 Added starter CocoaAgg backend. Only works on OS 10.3 for

now and requires PyObjC. (10.4 is high priority) - CM

2005-06-17 Upgraded pyparsing and applied Paul McGuire's suggestions

for speeding things up. This more than doubles the speed

of mathtext in my simple tests. JDH

2005-06-16 Applied David Cooke's subplot make_key patch

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

2005-06-15 0.82 released

2005-06-15 Added subplot config tool to GTK* backends -- note you must

now import the NavigationToolbar2 from your backend of

choice rather than from backend_gtk because it needs to

know about the backend specific canvas -- see

examples/embedding_in_gtk2.py. Ditto for wx backend -- see

examples/embedding_in_wxagg.py

2005-06-15 backend_cairo.py: updated to use pycairo 0.5.0 - SC

2005-06-14 Wrote some GUI neutral widgets (Button, Slider,

RadioButtons, CheckButtons) in matplotlib.widgets. See

examples/widgets/*.py - JDH

2005-06-14 Exposed subplot parameters as rc vars and as the fig

SubplotParams instance subplotpars. See

figure.SubplotParams, figure.Figure.subplots_adjust and the

pylab method subplots_adjust and

examples/subplots_adjust.py . Also added a GUI neutral

widget for adjusting subplots, see

examples/subplot_toolbar.py - JDH

2005-06-13 Exposed cap and join style for lines with new rc params and

line properties

lines.dash_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel

lines.dash_capstyle : butt # butt|round|projecting

lines.solid_joinstyle : miter # miter|round|bevel

2005-06-05 Fixed a TeX/LaTeX font discrepency in backend_ps. - DSD

2005-06-05 Added a ps.distill option in rc settings. If True, postscript

output will be distilled using ghostscript, which should trim

the file size and allow it to load more quickly. Hopefully this

will address the issue of large ps files due to font

definitions. Tested with gnu-ghostscript-8.16. - DSD

2005-06-03 Improved support for tex handling of text in backend_ps. - DSD

2005-06-03 Added rc options to render text with tex or latex, and to select

2005-05-31 Added vertical TeX support for agg - JDH

2005-05-31 Applied Eric's cntr patch - JDH

2005-05-27 Finally found the pesky agg bug (which Maxim was kind

enough to fix within hours) that was causing a segfault in

the win32 cached marker drawing. Now windows users can get

the enormouse performance benefits of caced markers w/o

those occasional pesy screenshots. - JDH

2005-05-27 Got win32 build system working again, using a more recent

version of gtk and pygtk in the win32 build, gtk 2.6 from

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html (you

will also need libpng12.dll to use these). I haven't

tested whether this binary build of mpl for win32 will work

with older gtk runtimes, so you may need to upgrade.

2005-05-27 Fixed bug where 2nd wxapp could be started if using wxagg

backend. - ADS

2005-05-26 Added Daishi text with dash patch -- see examples/dashtick.py

2005-05-26 Moved backend_latex functionality into backend_ps. If

text.usetex=True, the PostScript backend will use LaTeX to

generate the .ps or .eps file. Ghostscript is required for

eps output. - DSD

2005-05-24 Fixed alignment and color issues in latex backend. - DSD

2005-05-21 Fixed raster problem for small rasters with dvipng -- looks

like it was a premultipled alpha problem - JDH

2005-05-20 Added linewidth and faceted kwarg to scatter to control

edgewidth and color. Also added autolegend patch to

inspect line segments.

2005-05-18 Added Orsay and JPL qt fixes - JDH

2005-05-17 Added a psfrag latex backend -- some alignment issues need

to be worked out. Run with -dLaTeX and a *.tex file and

*.eps file are generated. latex and dvips the generated

latex file to get ps output. Note xdvi *does* not work,

you must generate ps.- JDH

2005-05-13 Added Florent Rougon's Axis set_label1

patch

2005-05-17 pcolor optimization, fixed bug in previous pcolor patch - JSWHIT

2005-05-16 Added support for masked arrays in pcolor - JSWHIT

2005-05-12 Started work on TeX text for antigrain using pngdvi -- see

examples/tex_demo.py and the new module

matplotlib.texmanager. Rotated text not supported and

rendering small glyps is not working right yet. BUt large

fontsizes and/or high dpi saved figs work great.

2005-05-10 New image resize options interpolation options. New values

for the interp kwarg are

'nearest', 'bilinear', 'bicubic', 'spline16', 'spline36',

'hanning', 'hamming', 'hermite', 'kaiser', 'quadric',

'catrom', 'gaussian', 'bessel', 'mitchell', 'sinc',

'lanczos', 'blackman'

See help(imshow) for details, particularly the

interpolation, filternorm and filterrad kwargs

2005-05-10 Applied Eric's contour mem leak fixes - JDH

2005-05-10 Extended python agg wrapper and started implementing

backend_agg2, an agg renderer based on the python wrapper.

This will be more flexible and easier to extend than the

current backend_agg. See also examples/agg_test.py - JDH

2005-05-09 Added Marcin's no legend patch to exclude lines from the

autolegend builder

plot(x, y, label='nolegend')

2005-05-05 Upgraded to agg23

2005-05-05 Added newscalarformatter_demo.py to examples. -DSD

scientific notation, and the ability to plot large large

numbers with small ranges, by determining a numerical offset.

See ticker.NewScalarFormatter for more details. -DSD

2005-05-03 Added the option to specify a delimiter in pylab.load -DSD

where keyboard input was grabbed by the figure and not

released 2) turn on cursor changes 3) clean up a typo

and commented-out print statement. - JDH

2005-04-14 Applied Eric Firing's masked data lines patch and contour

patch. Support for masked arrays has been added to the

plot command and to the Line2D object. Only the valid

points are plotted. A "valid_only" kwarg was added to the

get_xdata() and get_ydata() methods of Line2D; by default

it is False, so that the original data arrays are

returned. Setting it to True returns the plottable points.

- see examples/masked_demo.py - JDH

2005-04-13 Applied Tim Leslie's arrow key event handling patch - JDH

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

0.80 released

2005-04-11 Applied a variant of rick's xlim/ylim/axis patch. These

functions now take kwargs to let you selectively alter only

the min or max if desired. Eg xlim(xmin=2) or

axis(ymax=3). They always return the new lim. - JDH

2005-04-11 Incorporated Werner's wx patch -- wx backend should be

compatible with wxpython2.4 and recent versions of 2.5.

Some early versions of wxpython 2.5 will not work because

there was a temporary change in the dc API that was rolled

back to make it 2.4 compliant

2005-04-11 modified tkagg show so that new figure window pops up on

call to figure

2005-04-11 fixed wxapp init bug

2005-03-16 Fixed tick on horiz colorbar - JDH

2005-03-16 Added Japanses winreg patch - JDH

2005-03-15 backend_gtkagg.py: changed to use double buffering, this fixes

the problem reported Joachim Berdal Haga - "Parts of plot lagging

from previous frame in animation". Tested with anim.py and it makes

no noticable difference to performance (23.7 before, 23.6 after)

- SC

2005-03-14 add src/_backend_gdk.c extension to provide a substitute function

for pixbuf.get_pixels_array(). Currently pixbuf.get_pixels_array()

only works with Numeric, and then only works if pygtk has been

compiled with Numeric support. The change provides a function

pixbuf_get_pixels_array() which works with Numeric and numarray and

is always available. It means that backend_gtk should be able to

display images and mathtext in all circumstances. - SC

2005-03-11 Upgraded CXX to 5.3.1

2005-03-10 remove GraphicsContextPS.set_linestyle()

and GraphicsContextSVG.set_linestyle() since they do no more than

the base class GraphicsContext.set_linestyle() - SC

2005-03-09 Refactored contour functionality into dedicated module

2005-03-09 Added Eric's contourf updates and Nadia's clabel functionality

2005-03-09 Moved colorbar to figure.Figure to expose it for API developers

- JDH

2005-03-09 backend_cairo.py: implemented draw_markers() - SC

2005-03-09 cbook.py: only use enumerate() (the python version) if the builtin

version is not available.

Add new function 'izip' which is set to itertools.izip if available

and the python equivalent if not available. - SC

2005-03-07 backend_gdk.py: remove PIXELS_PER_INCH from points_to_pixels(), but

still use it to adjust font sizes. This allows the GTK version of

line_styles.py to more closely match GTKAgg, previously the markers

were being drawn too large. - SC

2005-03-01 Added Eric's contourf routines

2005-03-01 Added start of proper agg SWIG wrapper. I would like to

expose agg functionality directly a the user level and this

module will serve that purpose eventually, and will

hopefully take over most of the functionality of the

current _image and _backend_agg modules. - JDH

2005-02-28 Fixed polyfit / polyval to convert input args to float

arrays - JDH

2005-02-25 Add experimental feature to backend_gtk.py to enable/disable

double buffering (DBL_BUFFER=True/False) - SC

2005-02-24 colors.py change ColorConverter.to_rgb() so it always returns rgb

(and not rgba), allow cnames keys to be cached, change the exception

raised from RuntimeError to ValueError (like hex2color())

hex2color() use a regular expression to check the color string is

valid - SC

2005-02-23 Added rc param ps.useafm so backend ps can use native afm

fonts or truetype. afme breaks mathtext but causes much

smaller font sizes and may result in images that display

better in some contexts (eg pdfs incorporated into latex

docs viewed in acrobat reader). I would like to extend

this approach to allow the user to use truetype only for

mathtext, which should be easy.

2005-02-23 Used sequence protocol rather than tuple in agg collection

drawing routines for greater flexibility - JDH

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

2005-02-22 0.72.1 released

levels <0

2005-02-21 fixed ps color bug - JDH

2005-02-15 fixed missing qt file

2005-02-15 banished error_msg and report_error. Internal backend

methods like error_msg_gtk are preserved. backend writers,

check your backends, and diff against 0.72 to make sure I

did the right thing! - JDH

2005-02-14 Added enthought traits to matplotlib tree - JDH

toggles grid - JDH

2005-02-05 Added some support for handling log switching for lines

that have nonpos data - JDH

2005-02-04 Added Nadia's contour patch - contour now has matlab

compatible syntax; this also fixed an unequal sized contour

array bug- JDH

2005-02-04 Modified GTK backends to allow the FigureCanvas to be resized

smaller than its original size - SC

2005-02-02 Fixed a bug in dates mx2num - JDH

2005-01-30 Added backend_qtagg.py provided by Sigve Tjora - SC

2005-01-28 Added tk.inspect rc param to .matplotlibrc. IDLE users

should set tk.pythoninspect:True and interactive:True and

backend:TkAgg

2005-01-28 Replaced examples/interactive.py with an updated script from

Fernando Perez - SC

2005-01-27 Added support for shared x or y axes. See

examples/shared_axis_demo.py and examples/ganged_plots.py

2005-01-21 Applied Nadia's contour bug fix - JDH

2005-01-20 Made some changes to the contour routine - particularly

region=1 seems t fix a lot of the zigzag strangeness.

Added colormaps as default for contour - JDH

2005-01-19 Restored builtin names which were overridden (min, max,

abs, round, and sum) in pylab. This is a potentially

significant change for those who were relying on an array

version of those functions that previously overrode builtin

provided, eg: \"o \'e \`e \~n \.x \^y - JDH

2005-01-18 Plugged image resize memory leaks - JDH

2005-01-18 Fixed some mathtext parser problems relating to superscripts

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

2004-12-30 Release 0.70

2004-12-28 Added coord location to key press and added a

examples/picker_demo.py

2004-12-28 Fixed coords notification in wx toolbar - JDH

2004-12-28 Moved connection and disconnection event handling to the

FigureCanvasBase. Backends now only need to connect one

time for each of the button press, button release and key

press/release functions. The base class deals with

callbacks and multiple connections. This fixes flakiness

on some backends (tk, wx) in the presence of multiple

connections and/or disconnect - JDH

embedding , init now takes (canvas, window) rather than

(canvas, figman) - JDH

2004-12-21 Refactored axes and subplot management - removed

add_subplot and add_axes from the FigureManager. classic

toolbar updates are done via an observer pattern on the

figure using add_axobserver. Figure now maintains the axes

stack (for gca) and supports axes deletion. Ported changes

to GTK, Tk, Wx, and FLTK. Please test! Added delaxes - JDH

2004-12-21 Lots of image optimizations - 4x performance boost over

0.65 JDH

2004-12-20 Fixed a figimage bug where the axes is shown and modified

tkagg to move the destroy binding into the show method.

rgb2hex() - added round() instead of integer truncation

hex2color() - changed 256.0 divisor to 255.0, so now

'#ffffff' becomes (1.0,1.0,1.0) not (0.996,0.996,0.996) - SC

2004-12-11 Added ion and ioff to pylab interface - JDH

2004-12-11 backend_template.py: delete FigureCanvasTemplate.realize() - most

backends don't use it and its no longer needed

backend_ps.py, backend_svg.py: delete show() and

draw_if_interactive() - they are not needed for image backends

backend_svg.py: write direct to file instead of StringIO

- SC

2004-12-10 Added zorder to artists to control drawing order of lines,

patches and text in axes. See examples/zoder_demo.py - JDH

Dialog_MeasureTool(gtk.Dialog) one month after sending mail to

matplotlib-users asking if anyone still uses these functions - SC

2004-12-02 backend_bases.py, backend_template.py: updated some of the method

documentation to make them consistent with each other - SC

mpl_disconnect. Added a "test_disconnect" command line

parameter to coords_demo.py JTM

2004-12-04 Fixed some legend bugs JDH

2004-11-30 Added over command for oneoff over plots. Eg over(plot, x,

y, lw=2). Works with any plot function.

2004-11-30 Added bbox property to text - JDH

2004-11-29 Zoom to rect now respect reversed axes limits (for both

linear and log axes). - GL

2004-11-29 Added the over command to the matlab interface. over

allows you to add an overlay plot regardless of hold

state. - JDH

2004-11-25 Added Printf to mplutils for printf style format string

formatting in C++ (should help write better exceptions)

2004-11-18 backend_gtk.py: change so that the backend knows about all image

formats and does not need to use IMAGE_FORMAT in other backends - SC

2004-11-18 Fixed some report_error bugs in string interpolation as

reported on SF bug tracker- JDH

2004-11-17 backend_gtkcairo.py: change so all print_figure() calls render using

Cairo and get saved using backend_gtk.print_figure() - SC

2004-11-13 backend_cairo.py: Discovered the magic number (96) required for

Cairo PS plots to come out the right size. Restored Cairo PS output

and added support for landscape mode - SC

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

2004-11-08 matplotlib-0.64 released

2004-11-04 Changed -dbackend processing to only use known backends, so

we don't clobber other non-matplotlib uses of -d, like -debug.

2004-11-04 backend_agg.py: added IMAGE_FORMAT to list the formats that the

backend can save to.

backend_gtkagg.py: added support for saving JPG files by using the

GTK backend - SC

2004-10-31 backend_cairo.py: now produces png and ps files (although the figure

sizing needs some work). pycairo did not wrap all the necessary

functions, so I wrapped them myself, they are included in the

backend_cairo.py doc string. - SC

2004-10-31 backend_ps.py: clean up the generated PostScript code, use

the PostScript stack to hold itermediate values instead of

storing them in the dictionary. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_ps.py, ft2font.cpp, ft2font.h: fix the position of

text in the PostScript output. The new FT2Font method

get_descent gives the distance between the lower edge of

the bounding box and the baseline of a string. In

backend_ps the text is shifted upwards by this amount. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_ps.py: clean up the code a lot. Change the

PostScript output to be more DSC compliant. All

definitions for the generated PostScript are now in a

PostScript dictionary 'mpldict'. Moved the long comment

about drawing ellipses from the PostScript output into a

Python comment. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_gtk.py: removed FigureCanvasGTK.realize() as its no longer

needed. Merged ColorManager into GraphicsContext

joinstyle if there is no error. - SC

2004-10-30 backend_gtk.py: tidied up print_figure() and removed some of the

dependency on widget events - SC

2004-10-28 backend_cairo.py: The renderer is complete except for mathtext,

draw_image() and clipping. gtkcairo works reasonably well. cairo

does not yet create any files since I can't figure how to set the

'target surface', I don't think pycairo wraps the required functions

- SC

2004-10-28 backend_gtk.py: Improved the save dialog (GTK 2.4 only) so it

presents the user with a menu of supported image formats - SC

2004-10-28 backend_svg.py: change print_figure() to restore original face/edge

color

backend_ps.py : change print_figure() to ensure original face/edge

colors are restored even if there's an IOError - SC
