matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 2)

Dear list,

I've see a difference between the default backend between

v1.1.1 (shipped with kubuntu 12.10dev) and v1.2.0.rc1, 1.2.0rc2 and master
(1.3.x).


My set up is to call ipython with pylab and turn on interactive mode. I
still haven't copied over my matplotlibrc file from my work computer (there
I use qtagg, if I remember well)


On v1.1.1 the default is [backend: TkAgg], while in the other two cases it
is  [backend: agg]. Is there some reason for this difference?


cheers,

Francesco

Confirmed with 1.2.x.  The problem is only on pdf; ps and svg are correct.

Hello,

I see that a few days old clone of mpl, cannot save open symbols correctly
in a pdf file.

Here is a simple test case (in ipython --pylab):

I6 xx = np.random.random(1000)

I7 plt.plot(xx, 'D', mfc='none')

On screen open symbols are fine, as expected transparency works fine,
however when saved in pdf transparency disappears, symbols cover each
other. (Saving to png is also fine)

Could you confirm if this is a case in another installation?

Thanks.
