Bug saving semilogy plots with a axvline

#1

Hi,

A vertical line on the x axis of a semilogy plot will be in the correct position, but when saved with the save button of the toolbar it will be placed in an incorrect position, although savefig will do the right thing. Furthermore, zooming will not move the axvline correctly.

Matplotlib version: 0.98.3

Example script:

image.png

saved_image.png

···

-----------------------------------------

import matplotlib.pyplot as pl
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(0.0,1.0,100)

pl.semilogy(x,x**2)
pl.axvline(x=0.5,ls='--',color='k')
pl.show()
#pl.savefig("saved_image.png")
-----------------------------------------

image.png was saved using the toolbar, saved_image.png using savefig.

Regards,

Hello,

I can confirm and extend this bug report. The axvline also moves to the
wrong position on resizing the matplotlib display window (Mac OS X 10.5.5,
Python 2.5.1, Matplotlib 0.98.3).

Thanks

It looks like the transform for the line made by axvline is not getting updated when view limits change. The problem is found in svn, after the changes I made to axvline, as well as in 0.98.3. I can't track it down right now.

João et al.,

Thanks for the bug report. Mike D. has fixed the problem in svn. (I had moved the discussion to matplotlib-devel; I am just reporting back to matplotlib-users so this thread can be closed.)
