svn zoom

I periodically am seeing it. But I can't figure out how

I just tested on TkAgg ( I usually use GTKAgg) and noticed another
problem. When you click "zoom to rect mode" the format string in the
toolbar becomes so long that it causes the window to resize to fit
it. As you move the mouse around, depending on the x and y
locations, the format string becomes longer or shorter and the window
resizes like mad. Very annoying. Let's hold off on a release until
we can sort these bugs out.

I fixed that problem in the qt backends by telling the label to ignore sizing
hints. We could make the format string shorter, but even then, depending on
the size of the window, this problem can occur. What format would you prefer
to be reported on the toolbar?

I just tried running backend_driver.py with numerix set to Numeric, and I'm
repeatedly getting the following error:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 2502, in
bar
    yerr = asarray([yerr]*nbars, Float) # Float converts Nones to NANs
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric/Numeric.py", line 134, in
asarray
    return multiarray.array(a, typecode, copy=0, savespace=savespace)
TypeError: a float is required
