imshow : text.py broken?

I do not know if we should post bug reports against matplotlib svn.

Posting bug reports is likely to be helpful, but I suspect the
developers' list might be more appropriate for bugs in the svn version.
For bugs in released versions, I think John has told people to file a
bug in the Sourceforge tracker and also send a message to the mailing
list.

Anyway, imshow is now fully broken this way :

[...]

--> 200 w, h, d = renderer.get_text_width_height_descent(
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack

It's not in imshow really, but in the usetex branch of
get_text_width_height_descent in the agg backend. I fixed the immediate
problem, though baseline alignment is unlikely to work with usetex as of
now.

Thanks for fixing that.

I forgot to mention when I added baseline alignment -- I really have no idea how to get a good baseline out of the usetex machinery, or if that's even possible.

Now that you've fixed that bug, the baseline-misalignment problem should only affect those who explicitly turn on baseline alignment (using valignment = "baseline" on a text object).

If we can't get a baseline from usetex, we may have to decide whether it's worth keeping baseline alignment in as a feature at all...

Cheers,
Mike
