offset_copy()

Hi,

I noticed that offset_copy() went away in the transforms rewrite and was replaced with a trans + transfroms.Affine2D().translate(x,y). This works fine for x,y in pixels. However, offset_copy would also let you specify x,y in points. How can I get that to work with the new transforms? More importantly, can I do it without knowing the dpi?

You should be able to get the dpi -- at least if you are working with
an Artist instance, you can access the dpi as a.figure.dpi. With
this, you can scale the x and y of the translation to do offsets in
dpi.

Also, it looks like examples/pylab_examples/transoffset.py is broken...

(I think more and more we need to automatically run the examples and
compare against "known good" images in svn as a form of automated testing.)

I'll update the example. You may also find ScaledTranlation useful for what you're doing. It will allow you to avoid hardcoding the dpi.

The solution is sufficiently obscure, that I decided to just re-introduce offset_copy (r5804). It appears to work as before, and the example works without changes, though let me know if you run into any snags.
