"cached" member of Text class appearing in docs

While looking up some information, I came across this hideousness:

http://matplotlib.org/api/artist_api.html?highlight=text#matplotlib.text.Text.cached

Why is this member made public? I would have thought it should be “private”?

Wow. It definitely should be private, or at the very least excluded from the docs, through whatever mechanism Sphinx gives us. I really hope no one is using that as a public API -- I think it's ok to just privatize this post haste without a deprecation period.

I don't know if this is related but
http://matplotlib.org/api/artist_api.html?highlight=drawstyle#matplotlib.lines.Line2D.lineStyles

seems a similar kind of problem

Thanks

Y yo que culpa tengo de que ellas se crean todo lo que yo les digo?

Thanks for pointing that out. I think that's one is a little more debatable -- it does have some use to document.
