7) The template backend uses=20
verbose.report('Error: %s'%msg)
Should this be 'verbose.report_error' instead?
I was looking at this too, earlier today, because it was giving me a
problem - it was exiting without the error message being printed.
I looked to see how backend_agg handles errors and deleted it because I
don't think its even needed.
With a GUI backend you can popup an error message window.
With a non-GUI backend you can simply use
"from matplotlib.backend_bases import error_msg" as backend_agg does.
backend_bases has:
def error_msg(msg, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Alert an error condition with message
"""
print >>sys.stderr, msg
sys.exit()
No verbose() at all! But I agree I think it should be
'verbose.report_error'
Also, there is a new PS backend now. I've been working on
backend_cairo.py and today got it producing its own png and PS files.
