Bug summary
It has been claimed that "fig.canvas.draw() is the canonical way to trigger a draw", replacing fig.draw(fig.canvas.get_renderer()). But on the macosx backend, this seems not to work.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f, ax = plt.subplots()
lines = ax.plot([0, 1])
legend = ax.legend(lines, ["a line"])
f.canvas.draw()
# f.draw(f.canvas.get_renderer())
print(legend.get_window_extent())Actual outcome
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mpl_issue.py", line 7, in <module>
print(legend.get_window_extent())
File "/Users/mwaskom/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/matplotlib/legend.py", line 897, in get_window_extent

dpicor = renderer.points_to_pixels(1.)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'points_to_pixels'Expected outcome
On the qt5agg backend, or when uncommenting the (deprecated?) f.draw(f.canvas.get_renderer()) line, the code runs and prints the extent of the legend.
