detrend_linear bug

We removed the typecode= kwargs when porting matplotlib to be
compatible with Numeric and numarray. It's my understanding that the
kwarg version works with all (reasonable recent) versions of Numeric
but only very recent versions of numarray. What version of
Numeric/numarray are you using?

Todd, where would we expect

  xx = arange(len(x), x.typecode())

to fail and is there a good workaround?

Thanks for the report,
JDH
