Hello,
I'm preparing the Debian package for matplotlib 1.3.0rc4 but I got a
failure while building documentation, here's the extract from the

Thanks Nathaniel, I didn't realise pip could snarf a local checkout.
 That's good to know.

Thanks Ben.  I already did some playing with mplot3d, but I haven't tried
axes_grid{,1} or basemap yet.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to exercise the mpl toolkits with this
since it is more likely for them to do more esoteric things with axes.
Don't forget Base map and possibly cartopy and pandas.

NB that this is in general a good reason to make a habit of using 'pip
install .' instead of 'python setup.py install'. pip *will* nuke old
versions for you, and thus gives you a better chance of importing the
code that was actually shipped.

Thanks Nelle.  This is fantastic work and rather tedious given the size of
our axes.py file.  I've done some sanity checks on this and worked with
Nelle to minimise any potential issues people may have.  Some things have
changed.  It's probably best to refer to the Github issue to see the paper
trail.

To reiterate, remember that you'll need to nuke your previous local
install.  Installing over an existing mpl distribution will cause problems.
 This is because `python setup.py install` will not remove the old axes.py
for you.

Thanks,
Damon

Hi matplotlib-devs,

I just added an alternate proposal to MEP13 (scroll to the bottom):

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/wiki/MEP13

which suggests that axes methods mirror the names of pyplot functions just
so it's easier to switch between the two. We could maintain the current
interface but with easier conversion.

Thoughts?

Cheers!

Hello pythonistas,

We've just finished refactoring the axes module at the scipy sprint, and
before merging we would like to inform developers of the changes. The axes
module contained more than 9k loc, and a few classes. It used to be a file.

Now, it became a folder called "axes". This module contains several private
submodules:
- _base.py: this private module contains a new class _AxesBase, that
inherits from Artist. This new class contains all the methods except
the plotting and labelling methods. It is now 3k loc
- _axes.py contains the Axes class. This class inherists from _AxesBase,
and contains all the methods concerning plotting and labelling. It is now
6k loc
- _subplots.py contains all the subplots directive.

The API has not changed: only the private methods from axes are not
directly importable from axes anymore. All tests pass (travis shows a
failed test on py3k, which I am not able to reproduce on my computer). The
pull request can be seen here: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib
/pull/1931

Once this is merged, you may need to remove cleanly the previous installed
version of matplotlib. Indeed, installing a package replaces the old files,
but does not delete them. Thus, installing this new submodule will not
remove the axes.py file. Hence, a manual deletion of this file is necessary.

Thanks,
N

For those not in Austin who are interested in following along with the 
matplotlib sprint at Scipy, feel free to visit here:

This was my original attempt to go about this problem. This however, did
not give back the data that I need. Using the get_path() method returns the
vertices for the 2d protection of the 3d functions. The data that I need is
the raw 3d data for the function.

I'm not an expert on Matplotlib's 3D toolkit, but it sounds to me like
you're trying to insert your code directly into Matplotlib itself
somewhere?  And I don't think that's what you want to be doing.  If
you already have code to write the blender format then in order to
dump, say, the polygons for the model call .get_children() on the
Axes3D object and look for the Poly3DCollection.  Then call
.get_paths() on that it will return a list of all the polygons in the
model and the vertices that define them.  Check the documentation for
the Path class for understanding these.

Erik

Hi,

I am trying to use matplotlib to create obj file that I can render in
blender. I have already created the code to create the file itself. I am
currently trying to find the best place to put my code into. I have tried
editing the axes3d file and was able to create a working file. However, I
am worried there will be too much code recreation at this level.  I have
also attempted to edit the art3d file to try to have less code generation.
However, I was unable to find all of the data for the points. Any help or
ideas on where to put the code would be greatly appreciated.

If anymore information is needed please let me know, this is my first post
so I apologize if I left something out.

Thanks,
James

Thanks for all of the bug triaging that went on over the weekend. As I'm 
going through it, some of these are things that are pretty high 
priority, which I'm milestoning as "1.3.x blocker", and some are lower 
priority, but are good candidates for good things to discuss in person 
during the sprint, which I'm milestoning as "sprint".

Feel free to do the same for anything else that you think would make 
sense as a sprint topic -- not necessarily to work on, but at least to 
discuss in person.

Mike

Hi all,

I try to build matplotlib 1.2.1 under Windows and create package for
OSGeo4W [0].
OSGeo4W contains most of the necessary dependencies: Python 2.7.2, numpy 1.5.1,
libpng 1.2.34, Qt 4.7.1, freetype 2.3.7 and others.

After downloading and unpacking matplotlib sources I edited
setupext.py file and add
'C:\OSGeo4W' to basedir list

basedir = defaultdict(lambda: ['/usr/local', '/usr'], {
    # execptions to the ['/usr/local', '/usr'] defaults
    'win32'  : ['win32_static', 'c:\\OSGeo4W'],                     #
<---- here is it
    'darwin' : ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11', '/opt/local'],
    'sunos5' : [os.getenv('MPLIB_BASE') or '/usr/local',],
    'gnu0' : ['/usr'],
    'aix5' : ['/usr/local'],
    })

Than in commandline I run python setup.py build, from output I found
that include
files can't be found by compiler (see build.log.1 file from attached
zip). So I open
setupext.py again and modify check_for_freetype and add_ft2font_flags functions
adding to them path to osgeo4w includes (freetype includes in osgeo4w located at
C:\OSGeo4W\include\freetype, without 2 at end), modified file attached.

After this modification build process started, there are no missed includes, but
another error appears, see file build.log.2. I checked and found that in OSGeo4W
freetype library localed here C:\OSGeo4W\lib\freetype237.lib.

Is it possible to specify name of the library file somewhere? Maybe
there is build
guide? I found instructions at github [1], but all this guildes used
self-compiled
dependencies, while I want to use dependencies from OSGeo4W to make fully
compatible package.

Any hints and help is welcome

I have made a new release candidate (1.3.0rc4) that fixes the following 
vs. 1.3.0rc3:

- It doesn't add a setup.cfg file to the tarball

- It doesn't install the KnownFailure nose plugin as a pkg_resources 
entry_point (this conflicted with IPython's plugin of the same name)

- We get a known failure from the pep8 test if pep8 isn't installed

Hopefully that's enough to get to the point of giving this release 
candidate some wider exposure before putting out a final release. We can 
use some sprint time at Scipy to get this release polished if desired 
and necessary, too.

My bad.  It was determined that this was too difficult to fix at the 
moment.  See issue https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2117.

Let's just ignore this for now -- for finesse we can trap this case and 
mark it as "known fail", but I don't think that needs to hold things up 
for now.

Mike

I found setup.cfg in the 1.3.0rc3 tarball that I downloaded from the usual location:<http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.3.0rc3/matplotlib-1.3.0rc3.tar.gz/download>

Here is the complete contents. None of these entries except [egg_info] appear in setup.cfg.template. However,  setup.cfg.template has *NO* entries after [egg_info] which suggests that it could use more documentation.

--- start setup.cfg ----
[egg_info]
tag_build = 
tag_date = 0
tag_svn_revision = 0

--- end setup.cfg ----

The pep8 one is because the pep8 tool is not installed on your system.  
We attempted to fix this so it was not a hard requirement, but obviously 
missed this.  I'll fix that as part of the next release candidate.

The font issue was reportedly fixed by 9ccacff 
<https://github.com/pwuertz/matplotlib/commit/9ccacffe81e0d4a48e4a4b19064460b94c6f77c9>, 
but apparently not.  I'll ping Peter Wuertz about that.

This appears to be created by setuptools.  I create the tarball using 
`python setup.py sdist`, which is obviously doing this.  I'll look into 
why it's doing this.

Due to this, some of the things that Russell reported, and

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2139

there's going to need to be another rc in short order, so stay tuned.

Ah, I see it now.

It looks like something that was put in automatically, but I doubt it's git.

Mike, did you do the standard git archive --format=tar v1.3.0rc3 | gzip >
foo.tar.gz ?  I'd be surprised if that futzed with the tree...

I don't see a setup.cfg file.  I'm looking here:
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/v1.3.x

All I see is the setup.cfg.template file.

I have uploaded the MacOS 10.6 64-bit binary. However, there were a few 
unit test failures, including the font complaint that I first saw in an 
earlier 1.3.0 prerelease, plus one about pep8 that I've never seen 
before.

I have appended the output from python -c "import matplotlib as m ; 
m.test(verbosity=1)"
