Hi,
I just downloaded and installed the latest matplotlib (0.90.1) and the following problem occurred:
plot([0,1])
scatter([0.5], [0.5])
Should be one Line2D
print gca().lines
Should be one RegularPolyCollection
print gca().collections
Now load a legend:
legend()
Should be one Line2D !!! BUT NOW THERE IS A RegularPolyCollection !!!
print gca().lines
Should be one RegularPolyCollection
print gca().collections
Clearing throws the exception cuz it is trying to call
line methods (get_xdata) on a poly-collection
clf()
To fix this problem, I edited my axes.py file. In the legend() function, there is a get_handles() function which does the following (in psuedo code):
handles = self.lines
handles.extend(self.patches)
handles.extend( — collections —)
This is actually modifying the self.lines object. If instead I import the copy module and do:
handles = copy.copy(self.lines)
then everything behaves better. I haven’t done extensive testing to see if this breaks anything else though. Is there some place to enter bugs or is posting to this mailing list good enough?
Cheers,
Jessica
Thanks for the hint. I just fixed the problem in SVN.
No idea how this problem would have popped up recently. I did some
changes in legend just before 0.90.1, but I do not see how these would
have caused the problem to show up. From what I see, the flaw should
have been there all along. Well, whatever ... it is fixed now.
